In this activity, learners sample a star field to estimate the number of stars in the universe.

In this math activity, learners use a "function machine" to collect and organize simple data. The function machine in this case is a cardboard box and the input/output data are paper fish.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa

Learners carefully look at four known household crystals.

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

In this lesson, learners are challenged to discover the relationship among six numbers.

In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.

In this math activity, learners predict how many pom-poms they can toss inside a circle from three feet away. Use this activity to help learners explore probability.

Learners explore the physical properties of a variety of balls and how they bounce.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

In this online version of the classic paper and pencil game, learners practice looking ahead to anticipate an opponent's move.

In this activity, learners test different food items by timing how long it takes each liquid to slide from the top of a ramp to the bottom.

In this family or group activity, learners conduct a chromatography experiment to reveal the colors that leaves "hide" under their green pigments.

In this activity, learners play a game similar to Hangman by guessing a secret phrase to understand how computer scientists measure the amount of "information" in a document.

In this activity, learners explore the unseen force of friction and how surfaces can slow moving objects at different rates.

In this math activity, learners play a game and try to collect the most cards by guessing if the next number to appear will be odd or even.
