Bean Bugs
Source Institutions
In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.
Growing Plants: Track Their Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

Testing Falling Peanut Butter Sandwich Myth
Source Institutions
In this activity related to rotational inertia (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Microgravity), learners will use a bit of scientific experimenting to test if open-faced peanut butter sandwi

Jump Like a Frog
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.
How Many In a Minute
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will keep track of how much they can do in one minute. Instructors can pick something everyone will do for a minute, such as jumping up and down or drawing stars.

Piles of Paper: Estimate Paper Use
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners keep track of how much paper the group uses in a week. Build awareness of paper waste, while strengthening measurement and estimation skills.

Let's Dew It!
Source Institutions
From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.
Is It Possible: Estimating Measurement
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

Blink
Source Institutions
In this self-measuring activity, learners observe and record how many times a minute they blink, take a breath, and chew, as well as how many times a minute their heart beats.

Traveling Seeds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.
Harmful Algal Blooms: In Full Bloom
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate the impacts of harmful phytoplankton using NOAA's Coastal Services Center Harmful Algal Bloom Forecasting (HABF) Project data.

Tree-mendous Plots
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.
Paper Bag Skits: Using Size and Measurement
Source Institutions
Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

Energy Use in the Americas
Source Institutions
Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.

Scientific Measurement Exercise
Source Institutions
Learners measure irregularly shaped bones using a variety of measurement methods and tools. Then, they measure again using standard conventions and metric tape measures.

Lift Off!
Source Institutions
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.

Developing Tests to Distinguish Between Similar-Looking Unknowns
Source Institutions
Learners identify an unknown liquid by comparing its behavior to known liquids. Learners drop liquids onto different surfaces and see how the liquids behave.

Statistics: Whirlybirds
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners measure, predict and determine the frequency of an event as it relates to how close Whirlybirds land to a target.
