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.

In this food science activity, learners explore digestion and proteins by observing the action of meat tenderizer on luncheon meat.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

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.

In this nutrition activity, learners explore food labels and consider the nutritional value of foods. Learners also explore units of measurement commonly used on food labels.

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.

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, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

In this health activity, learners explore breathing, lungs and asthma. Learners test their lung capacity by blowing air into balloons.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

This activity has three story puzzles learners can solve to learn about life in the Arctic.

In this Energy and Environment activity (page 9 of the PDF), learners calculate the mass of a piece of gum, compare it to the mass of the gum's packaging, and then create a bar graph of the results.

In this environmental activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners identify household products that are recyclable and explore the different types of recyclable plastics.

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

In this nutrition/food science activity, learners conduct an experiment and record data to compare the amount of fat in different foods.

In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.
