Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end

In this activity, learners create a cool floating animal using the science of magnetism. Learners discover what happens when a piece of magnetic metal enters a magnet's field.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

In this yummy activity about soil (page 9 of PDF), learners will create layers of soil using food. They will learn about the composition and role of each layer.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

In this activity, learners compare the ways of life of Plains Native Americans who hunted and moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, and Native Americans who farmed and lived in more permanent

In this activity, learners build a simple pinhole viewer. They use this apparatus to project images from a variety of light sources, including a candle, the Sun, and the Moon.

In this activity, learners explore the Great Plains.

In this activity, learners explore how the shapes, sizes, and distances of land masses appear differently on two different models of Earth: an icosahedron and a flat map.

In this activity, learners will turn an ordinary tray of sand into a desk-top garden for meditation.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

In this activity, learners work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.
