In this experiment related to plant biotechnology, learners discover how to prepare and load an electrophoresis gel.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners test different materials to find out which is the best insulator.

In this activity about heart health (on page 34 of the PDF), learners measure their own blood pressure using an electronic blood pressure monitor with a self-inflating cuff (included in cost of materi

In this activity, learners use UV light to transfer a pattern onto a plastic board. The pattern is transferred by placing a mask (a transparency sheet with the pattern) on a plastic board.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits) is a full inquiry investigation into observing, recording, and graphing animal behavior.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Behind the Scenes with Chemistry), learners make some special effects, including snow and breaking glass, with supplies found in the home.

In this chemistry activity which should only be done under adult supervision (page 10 of the PDF), learners will create an exothermic process by making Sodium Acetate.

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

In this activity, learners simulate the separation techniques that materials recovery facilities (MRFs) use and then design their own series of recycling techniques.

In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.

In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.

In this activity about heart health (on page 27 of the PDF), learners measure their heart rates after a variety of physical activities and compare the results with their resting heart rates, and with

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.

In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.

In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, volume, density, and bounce height.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity) is a full inquiry investigation to determine the age of fossils based on where they are discovered.
