Sustainable Grazing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

Building Three-Dimensional (3D) Structures
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice drawing 3D structures in two dimensions. Learners draw cube stacks from five different points of view.

Soccer Kicks
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

Newton's 2nd Law: Inquiry Approach
Source Institutions
In this lab activity, learners act as fellow scientists and colleagues of Isaac Newton. He has asked them to independently test his ideas on the nature of motion, in particular his 2nd Law.

Beyond Dominoes: Polyominoes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add squares to paper dominoes to make polyominoes.

Pop Bottle Whirligig
Source Institutions
Learn about friction and kinetic energy with this cool spinning toy.

Series and Parallel Circuits
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners demonstrate and discuss simple circuits as well as the differences between parallel and serial circuit design and functions.

Coral, Carbon Dioxide and Calcification
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

Cats and Canaries
Source Institutions
In this math puzzle game, learners work together to use algebraic reasoning and fun clues for solving word puzzles.

Natural Selection in Protected and Unprotected Populations
Source Institutions
