Collect Oxygen Over Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a pneumatic trough (see related activity) to generate and collect pure oxygen.

Touch the Spring (Lightbulb)
Source Institutions
In this activity, a lightbulb is placed in front of a concave mirror. The actual lightbulb is not visible to the viewer, but the viewer can see the mirror image of the lightbulb formed in space.

Heavyweight Champion: Jupiter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

Whirling Windmills
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a windmill to harness the power of wind.

Kinematic Fanatic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build a system of gears and kinematics to create a hand-stamping machine.

Aviary Architect
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

Nano Latch-n-Catch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

Particle Detection
Source Institutions
By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

Writing for Night Vision
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics), learners will use a home video camera with a “night vision” mode to test how various inks appear outside the spectrum of visibl

Laser Projection Microscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a laser pointer to project a microscopic image of a liquid sample suspended from the tip of a syringe.

Molecular Menagerie
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

Build Your Own Marble Machine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a ball run contraption.

Investigating the Insides
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.

Wintergreen
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

Shipwrecked!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build the tools they need to survive being shipwrecked on a deserted island.

Cabbage Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners make an acid-base indicator using cabbage. Learners then explore how various subtances react with this indicator.
