This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

This demonstration/activity helps learners understand why higher elevations are not always warm simply because "hot air rises." Learners use a tire pump to increase the pressure and temperature inside
