Learners investigate the concept of humidity by using a dry and wet sponge as a model. They determine a model for 100% humidity, a sponge saturated with water.

Learners set up books with rubber bands stretched between the books. When two identical books are stretched apart and released, they move back toward each other an equal distance.

In this activity, learners examine baking powder, a combination of three powders: baking soda, cream of tartar, and cornstarch.

In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.

Learners build a simple hovercraft using air from a balloon to levitate a craft made from a compact disc (CD).

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this activity (on pages 13-16 of the PDF) learners investigate three mystery samples to see which one contains life. The three samples are sand, sand and yeast, and sand and antacid.

Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable

In this activity, learners build a racecar using only a rubber band, spool, straw, and paper clip! This racer is a classic toy that zips across a flat surface.

In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

In this project, students explore how levers work, by making a puppet with moving limbs.

This game is like regular bingo, except the clues are sounds.

Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star

Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

Heat makes some materials expand, and it makes others shrink.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will explore how static electricity affects surrounding objects.

Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.
