No-Slip Grip
Source Institutions
    
  In this physical sciences activity, learners explore friction. Learners investigate the factors that affect the force required to move an object.
 
Design a Fish
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.
   
Parachute Parade
Source Institutions
    
  In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.
   
Wild or Domestic Animal Game
Source Institutions
    
  In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF), learners will play a game using their observation and listening skills, interpreting clues from each other to deduce their secret animal identity.
   
Going Green
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.
   
Wetland Filter Model
Source Institutions
    
  In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.
   
Mini Glacier Meltdown
Source Institutions
    
  This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation about the different causes of glacial melt.
   
Light Bulb Challenge
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.
   
Sand Grain Observations
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes), learners will use a magnifier to carefully examine samples of sand from different locations.
   
Keep Out!
Source Institutions
    
  In this technology activity, learners build an "alarming" doormat to keep siblings out of their rooms. Use this activity to teach learners about circuits, switches, and sensors.
   
Finding Fossils
Source Institutions
    
  This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity) is a full inquiry investigation to determine the age of fossils based on where they are discovered.
   
Grab and Go
Source Institutions
    
  In this engineering activity, learners design and build a mechanical arm to lift a small item.
   
Soccer Kicks
Source Institutions
    
  This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.
   
Make a Model Caldera
Source Institutions
    
  In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Lava Flow Activity), learners will model how large depressions near the top of a volcano are formed by using an inflating and deflating balloon submerg
   
Crank It Up
Source Institutions
    
  In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.
   
Bone Identification
Source Institutions
    
  This activity (page 3 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) is a full inquiry investigation into fossil hunting and identification.
   
Beam Me Up!
Source Institutions
    
  This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about the "Tyndall effect," the scattering of visible light when it hits very small dispersed particles.
   
Breathing Room
Source Institutions
    
  In this health activity, learners explore breathing, lungs and asthma. Learners test their lung capacity by blowing air into balloons.
   
Forces at the Nanoscale: Nano Properties of Everyday Plants
Source Institutions
    
  This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.
   
Leaf Me Alone
Source Institutions
    
  In this activity, learners explore the structure of plant leaves. Learners find out what happens when they coat either the top or bottom sides of leaves with petroleum jelly.
