Magnetic Pendulums
Source Institutions
In this activity and demonstration about electricity and magnetism, learners observe how the current generated when one copper coil swings through a magnetic field starts a second coil swinging.

Bury Me Not!
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

Freshwater Ecosystems
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.

Seeds: Roots and Shoots
Source Institutions
In this indepth hands-on activity, learners build a structure that allows them to observe the growth of roots and the correlation between root growth and stem extension.

Milk Carton Boats
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat) is a full inquiry investigation into boat hull design.

Sand Dunes
Source Institutions
This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

Make a Speaker
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how an electromagnet works by making a simple one. Using this knowledge, learners design a diagram to make a working speaker using household materials.

Circuit Sense
Source Institutions
In this activity about electricity, learners identify closed and open circuits. First, learners examine and label diagrams of open and closed circuits.

The Power of Graphene
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

Biotechnology Through Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.

Airfoils
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.

Wind Tunnel Testing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

Life Vest Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind life vests or personal flotation devices and the challenges met by these devices.

Microbes are Everywhere
Source Institutions
In this four-day activity, learners grow bacteria and/or fungi from a variety of locations and compare the results.

Air Pressure and Dent Pullers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

Blowin' in the Wind
Source Institutions
In this environmental engineering activity, learners build windmills using everyday items. The first challenge is to build windmills that spin when placed in front of a fan.

Puppet Power
Source Institutions
In this mechanical engineering activity, learners design shadow puppets with moving parts and use them to tell stories.

Delivery Capsules
Source Institutions
Learners make self-assembled polymer spheres as a model for the lipid nanoparticles found in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

Infrared Investigations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.

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.
