This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Horse Ears) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior and communication.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

Learners work in pairs to create three simple types of bridges, a beam bridge, an arch bridge, and a suspension bridge.

This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

This lesson focuses on two simple activities that younger learners can do to gain an appreciation of nanotechnology. First, learners measure their hands in nanometers.

Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

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

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Farm Animals Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into raising livestock.

In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into mapping the underground “plumbing” of geysers.

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.
