This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how "bounciness" relates to the distance a ball will fly when hit off a batting tee.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of different types of balls.

In this activity, learners make models representing bones on Earth and bones that have been in space. They discover what happens to bones without proper exercise and nutrition.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

In this activity, learners interpret three trackways and use measurements and a formula to infer the relative speed of dinosaurs.

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

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.

In this activity, learners perform 20 arm curls with cans that simulate the weight of beans on Earth versus the weights of the same number of beans on the Moon and in space.

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, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

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

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

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.

Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey) is a full inquiry investigation into how a hockey stick’s flex affects shooting power and accuracy.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

In this activity learners compare the bounciness of warm and cold racquetballs to see if temperature makes a difference in how well they bounce.

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.
