In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Extreme Sounds) about sound vibrations, learners will investigate which small objects, such as coins, hex nuts, or marbles, produce t

Vibrant Cords
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how the voice works and feel the vibrations produced by vocal cords.

Iridescent Art
Source Institutions
This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

Name-a-Saurus
Source Institutions
In this paleontology activity, learners explore the system behind dinosaur nomenclature.

Chew that Gum
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

Bubble Tray
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

A Recipe for Air
Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

Plant Power
Source Institutions
In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Paper Animals
Source Institutions
This resource contains ideas and brief instructions on how to build animals out of construction paper and other simple materials.

Morphing Butterfly

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

An Apple as Planet Earth
Source Institutions
In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

Space Stations: Sponge Spool Spine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).
Enhanced Water Taste Test
Learners conduct a "blind" taste-test of several types of enhanced or fitness water drinking water that has commercially added substances like vitamins, sugars, or herbs.

Odors Aloft
Source Institutions
Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

Candy Dish Natural Selection
Source Institutions
In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

Lung Capacity
Source Institutions
This is an activity about lung capacity. Learners will measure their own lung capacity using a homemade spirometer.

Synaptic Tag
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.

Water Sphere Lens
Source Institutions
In this activity about light and refraction, learners make a lens and magnifying glass by filling a bowl with water.

Cover Your Mouth
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.

Making a Battery from a Potato
Source Institutions
