In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

In this art meets science activity, learners pack silver, ball-shaped ornaments in a single layer in a box to create an array of spherical reflectors.

In this activity (on pages 24-34), learners explore the four-part stomach of cows (and other grazing animals called ruminants), and compare it to the human one-part stomach and its digestive process.

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and experiment with different materials to create bug hats.

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length. Learners first read "How Big is a Foot" by Rolf Myller and learn about units.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

As a long-term project, you can rear monarch butterflies at home or in a classroom.

In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Pet Handedness) is a full inquiry investigation into whether pets show a preference for the left or right paw, or “handedness” like people.

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

In this environmental science activity about biodiversity, learners play a game to discover the effects of non-native species on an ecosystem.

In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.
