Adherence to HIV Treatment
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate taking HIV antiretroviral drugs by using Tic Tac mints and Kool-Aid packets.

Good News: We're on the Rise!
Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

Mold Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

Composting
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

Measure the Pressure: The "Wet" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

The Recycling Conservation Calculator
Source Institutions
In this environmental activity (page 16 of the PDF), learners will calculate the amount of energy they save by recycling paper, plastic, glass, and aluminum materials over the span of a week.

Jump for the Moon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to increase bone strength and to improve heart and other muscle endurance by performing jump training with a rope, both while stationary and moving.

Feed the Birds
Source Institutions
Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.

Mold Terrarium: What Grows on Leftover Food?
Source Institutions
This activity shows you how to make a mold terrarium using a jar and leftover food.

Make a "Mummy"
Source Institutions
The Ancient Egyptians used a naturally-occurring salt from the banks of the Nile River, called natron, to mummify their dead.

Base Station Walk-Back
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to improve lung, heart, and other muscle endurance as they walk a progressive, measured distance.

Mosquito Life Cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a plastic emergence chamber (or use purchased "mini mosquito breeder") to observe and analyze the mosquito life cycle.

Do a Spacewalk!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners train to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination by performing the “bear crawl” and the "crab walk.” Learners perform the exercises over tim

Crew Strength Training
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.

Homemade Rain Gauge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build rainwater collectors to practice meteorology in their own backyard. Collect and analyze data to determine how much rainfall you get in a set period of time.

How Fast Can a Carrot Rot?
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to determine conditions that either help or hinder the decomposition of carrots by soil microbes.

The Self-Watering Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

Measure the Pressure II: The "Dry" Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Weather Forecasting
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

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.
