In this activity, learners create a garden in a disposable glove. They learn about the conditions necessary to make the seeds sprout and actively participate in caring for their plants.

In this health activity (located on page 4 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of hand washing by observing mold growing on potatoes.

In this genetics activity, learners extract DNA from an onion, using detergent solution, a food processor, and rubbing alcohol. They will also discuss genetic engineering of plants.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment to find out what determines a flower's color.

Bones are stiff, which helps us lift heavy things and walk around, but they are also somewhat flexible, which lets them bend slightly.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from wheat germ using simple materials.

An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.

In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

In this activity (page 37 of the PDF), learners observe, on a prepared slide, muscle and spinal cord cells from a rat.

In this activity, learners experiment with their voices and noisemakers to understand the connections between vibrations and the sounds created by those vibrations.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

In this nutrition/food science activity, learners conduct an experiment and record data to compare the amount of fat in different foods.

In this ecology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore how to filter contaminated water using a variety of materials.

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?
