In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

In this geology activity, learners create a model using a mixture of salt and sand inside a CD case. When the case is tilted or inverted, the mixture dramatically sorts into a layered pattern.

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 environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this activity, learners collect, analyze, and interpret information about objects in order to classify them into a cladogram. Use this activity to talk about how scientists classify things.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

In this activity, (on page 6 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) learners participate in a hands-on fossil excavation.

In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.

In this activity, learners construct a robot-like hand to demonstrate how data is collected when using robotic technology.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

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 model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior.

In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.
