Flower Powder
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

Antigen-Antibody Testing: A Visual Simulation or Virtual Reality
Source Institutions
In this biology activity, learners use plastic pipettes to cut wells into the solid gel layer of agar in petri dishes and place solutions of simulated antigen and antibody preparations into the wells.

Shake Table
Source Institutions
This activity guide includes instructions on how to build a "Shake Table" by mounting an eccentric mass (off center) on the shaft of a small dc motor.

Sand Grain Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes), learners will use a magnifier to carefully examine samples of sand from different locations.

Rocket Wind Tunnel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

Super Soil
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

Ice on Mars
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.

Litter Critters
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use a "litter-critter" wheel to help them identify different animals they find living in a natural litter habitat.

Follow the Scent
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories

Mystery Marauders
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, mystery-solving activity, learners work like detectives, gathering evidence to identify the culprits that are attacking plants.

Logs to Soil
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners cut through and investigate rotten logs and then make log-profile puzzles for each other.

Outbreak!: Investigating Epidemics
Source Institutions
A group of learners simulates the spread of disease by trading slips of paper, one set of which has been treated with a baking soda solution.
