In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this activity, learners explore the unique challenges in transportation engineering, such as devising a method for skiers or hikers to get to the top of a mountain.

In this quick activity, learners take a balance challenge to measure their average balance time. As they collect data, they investigate how practice and repetition improve their balance time.

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.

In this activity (page 87 of the PDF), learners move their bodies to better understand the three axes of rotation: pitch, roll and yaw.

In this activity, learners explore how boats are engineered to achieve speed.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will explore the concept of inertia by attempting to run and stop quickly.

In this activity and/or demonstration, learners illustrate visually and physically that air has weight. Learners balance two equally-inflated balloons hanging from string on a yard stick.

In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

In this activity and game, learners will train to improve balance and spatial awareness by performing throwing and catching techniques on one foot.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this activity about physical stress (page 28 of PDF), learners discover that muscles and bones need to work to stay strong.

In this activity about flight, learners explore how high they can jump. Learners dip their finger in ink or dirt, then jump as high as they can and mark paper attached to the wall.

Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!

In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.
