In this experience, learners use the internet to research physical details about Chihuly's Fireworks of Glass "Tower" and "Ceiling" and consider the decisions Chihuly had to make as he was planning th

In this activity, learners use a straight line to learn about circles. Learners measure and record the diameter and circumference of different sized cylindrical objects on a chart.

This activity models the necessary balance of creating power and cleaning up its associated waste. Learners participate in a game where they attempt to move forward toward a goal.

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

When was the last time you took a really close look at a leaf? In this activity, learners will use leaves and simple materials to make colorful leaf rubbings.

In this chemistry activity, learners fill two test tubes with a solution of "artificial stomach fluid," consisting of hydrochloric acid in the same concentration as in human stomachs, some soap to cre

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

In this activity, learners take core samples of candy bars with a straw and carefully observe & excavate their sample, modeled after what the NASA Perseverance rover will do on Mars.

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish) is a full inquiry investigation into environmental adaptation.

In this activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).

This activity helps the learner answer the question: "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" Learners play a

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.

Learners use a transparent plastic glove as a container to grow seeds. A different kind of seed can be planted in each finger.

In this activity, learners use plastic water bottles, wood, and water to build an inexpensive and portable tool to demonstrate one atmosphere of pressure at sea level.

In this activity, learners make their own encrypted code to pass along secret messages using a printable cipher wheel.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.
