Mystery Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners describe an object they can’t see. After someone picks outs a few mystery objects and places them in a pillowcase, learners will investigate using only their hands.

Bubbles: Using Controls
In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

Density Stackers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate density as they discover how liquids separate to form density layers. Learners discover what happens when they add syrup, cooking oil, and water to a jar.

Solving Dissolving
Source Institutions
The Sacred Cenote at Chichén Itzá is a sink hole, or well, containing groundwater. In this activity, learners create their own cenote using chalk, limestone, acids, and rain water.

Newton's in the Driver's Seat
Source Institutions
In this playful physics activity (page eight of the pdf), learners use toy cars to explore how speed and weight affect the results of collision.

Changing Colors
Source Institutions
In this challenge, learners have to figure out in what order to combine five solutions to change the color from clear, to yellow, to blue, and back to clear.

Fantastic Plastic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the properties of plastic bags. Learners find out what happens when they slowly push a pencil through a plastic bag filled with water.

Tune Booster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build unique sound enhancing inventions with items from around the house to amplify sound from their smart phone's speakers.

Wilberforce Pendulum
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a Wilberforce Pendulum, a special coupled pendulum in which energy is transferred between two modes of vibration, longitudinal ("bounce') and torsional ("twist"), on a

Fun with Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

Sound Sandwich
Source Institutions
With a straw, two craft sticks, and some rubber bands, construct a noisemaker called a Sound Sandwich and explore how vibration produces sound.

A Crayon Rock Cycle- Sedimentary
Source Institutions
This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

Weather Stations: Winds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a toaster to generate wind and compare the appliance's heat source to Jupiter's own hot interior. Learners discover that convection drives wind on Jupiter and on Earth.

Frosty Glasses
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why frost forms. They create their own frost using a solution of ice water and salt in a glass.

Bernoulli's Blowout
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites), learners will witness firsthand the effects of Bernoulli’s Principle by capturing a ping pong ball in the stream of air created b

Bubble Suspension
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe as soap bubbles float on a cushion of carbon dioxide gas. Learners blow bubbles into an aquarium filled with a slab of dry ice.

Coffee to Carbon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

Straw Rockets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create unique rockets. Each rocket will be powered by air as the learner will blow into a straw and watch their rocket fly.

Build a Giant Puzzle!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

Dealing Signals
Source Institutions
In this activity, use standard playing cards to introduce learners to cellular interactions such as cell to cell recognition and signal and receptor specificity.
