Amazing Albedo
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners work in teams to investigate how the color of a surface influences its ability to reflect light and therefore heat.

The Scoop on Habitat
Source Institutions
Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

Newspaper Collage
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners create a collage by using vinegar to transfer color pictures from a newspaper onto a piece of white paper.

Rollback
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will make a can that will roll back after it has been rolled away to observe the interactions of kinetic and potential energy.

Fingerprint Identification
Source Institutions
In this crime science activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners will explore the uniqueness of fingerprints. The will learn components of fingerprints as well as why fingerprints are left behind.
Bat Echolocation Experiment
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how bats use echolocation to get information about objects in their environment. During the activity, one learner whispers into a tube.

Drying It Out
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

Separating with Chromatography
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners separate different types of molecules in marker inks (using a technique called "thin layer chromatography").

Take It From The Top: How Does This Stack Up?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore center of gravity, or balance point, of stacked blocks.
Measuring Rules
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners create their own units of measurement by making noodle rulers. Learners practice estimating and measuring objects using the noodle rulers .

Zig Zag Bopper
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a machine made of craft sticks to multiply the levering motion of their hands and create a device that bends and extends.

Modeling Limits to Cell Size
Source Institutions
This investigation provides learners with a hands-on activity that simulates the changing relationship of surface areas-to-volume for a growing cell.

Defining Density
Source Institutions
In this introductory demonstration and activity, learners are introduced to the concept of density as they explore a rock and a wooden block in water.

Diet Light
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.
Stacking Dice
Source Institutions
In this math game, learners try to earn the most points by winning stacks of four dice. Learners practice number recognition and addition skills.

Thinking in Three Dimensions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.
Pencil Drop
Source Institutions
In this demonstration, learners observe as a bottle is placed on a table with wooden hoop balanced on top and a pencil balanced on top of the hoop.

Space Stations: Bones of Contention
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make models representing bones on Earth and bones that have been in space. They discover what happens to bones without proper exercise and nutrition.

Funny Putty
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat), learners will create a blob of stretchable funny putty out of a water, borax, and glue mixture.

Measure the Speed of a Water Leak
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will measure the rate at which water streams out of a leaky cup.
