Crossing the Synaptic Gap
Source Institutions
In this neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.

Public Key Encryption: Kid Krypto
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a simulation exercise related to public key encryption and try to intercept a message sent between two learners.

Exercise and Memory
Source Institutions
This activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory) is a full inquiry investigation into the effects of exercise on short term memory.

Mega Bounce
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Baseball Activity), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Habitat Adaptation Matchup
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in small groups to match various marine animals with their different environments.

Keeping a Field Journal
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

Super Bounce
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Scaling an Atom
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

Physics in the Sky: Physics on a Plane
Source Institutions
On an airplane trip, learners have an opportunity to investigate the properties of air pressure at different altitudes.

Caller ID: The Frog - and Toad! - Mating Game
Source Institutions
This activity is a sensory experience that recreates the sounds of a pond at night.

Map Your World
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.

Coma Cluster of Galaxies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

Static Friction Prediction
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Kinetic Sculpture Challenge Activity), learners will predict which objects have to overcome the most static friction to slide down a ramp.
Math and Creativity Posters
Source Institutions
These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How many colors can you name in a minute? or How many seconds can you balance on one foot?

The Daily Ups and Downs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners graph 48 hourly air temperatures from a local weather observation site and observe the diurnal temperature variations.

Skateboard Disaster
Learners examine collisions between two skateboards carrying different masses. They learn about conservation of momentum in collisions.

Number Patterns
Source Institutions
In this lesson, learners are challenged to discover the relationship among six numbers.
The Sharp Eyes of a Naturalist
Source Institutions
In this creative activity, learners will practice looking carefully to observe details and to become familiar with dioramas as a method for displaying naturalistic scenes.

The Checks Lab
Source Institutions
A group of learners has an envelope containing a series of bank checks. A few checks are removed at a time, and the team attempts to construct a plausible scenario which involves those checks.

Built in Stopwatch
Source Institutions
In this activity (3rd on the page), learners investigate circadian rhythms by examining how well people do with estimating time.
