In this activity about electricity, learners build and test a paper clip switch to turn on a light bulb.

In this activity, learners build a speedboat using paint paddles, a propeller, and film canister. Learners attach a simple circuit and motor to the boat to power the propellers.

Build your own version of a favorite carnival game, in which a marble races down a maze consisting of rows of nails.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 6 of the PDF). Students make a limewater testing solution for carbon dioxide and explore the concepts of solubility and precipitates.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.

In this health and genetics activity, learners determine whether tasting the bitter compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) influences which vegetables a person likes.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) is a full inquiry investigation into dogs' ability (or inability) to see color.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of force and how pulleys are used in everyday life to make work easier.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

In this physical sciences activity, learners use science to solve a "crime." Learners collect trace evidence (glitter) and explore its characteristics, such as color, size, shape, and light reflection

In this chemistry investigation, learners combine common cooking substances (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, oil, water, food coloring) to explore mixtures.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that’s at least 12 inches high with two or more parts that move (spin, sway, or flap) in the wind.

In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.
