In this easy chemistry activity, learners submerge pennies in different liquids (water, lemon juice, vinegar, liquid hand soap, salt water, and baking soda mixed with water) to observe which best clea

In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will determine whether they are "tasters" or "non-tasters", test selected individuals from their families and peer group for the trait, and chart

In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.

In this two-day activity (on pages 16-22), learners use a process like that of the Yoruba people of Nigeria to create an African symbol on cloth.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

Learners will compare the growth rate and appearance of crystals forming on small rocks to those growing on miscellaneous objects. Learners will also investigate how temperature (warm vs.

In this activity (on pages 24-34), learners explore the four-part stomach of cows (and other grazing animals called ruminants), and compare it to the human one-part stomach and its digestive process.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hovercraft) is a full inquiry investigation into hovercraft engineering and design optimization.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about composites, materials made of 2 or more different components.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

Using zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), elodea and an indicator dye, learners study the role of light in photosynthesis.

In this activity, learners explore how different deodorants work. Learners treat agar plates with different types of deodorants and compare the bacteria growth on the plates to the control sample.

This lesson introduces learners to the world of nematodes (roundworms).
