Geometry and Spatial Relations: Sidewalk Capers
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.
Insulation Station
Source Institutions
In this physical sciences activity, learners explore insulation. Leaners investigate how insulation can be used to slow down the conduction of heat from one side of a wall to the other.
Ship the Chip
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.
Super Gelatin
Source Institutions
Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?
Double Dutch Distractions
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.
More Bubbles!
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.
Cooling Off
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
Source Institutions
In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.
Multi-Variable Relations: Stressed to the Breaking Point
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.
Zip Line Zoo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a stuffed-animal zip line. Learners hold a cord against a wall, hook a cute stuffed animal onto it, let the animal slide down, and records its travel time.
Burn a Peanut
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.
Not Just A Bag Of Beans
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.
Cardio Comparisons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how their heart rate changes in different situations.
Survival of the Fittest: Battling Beetles
Source Institutions
This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.
Heart to Heart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare ways to measure their heart rates. Learners build their own stethoscopes and learn how exercise affects heart rate.
Inverse Square Law
Source Institutions
In this math activity related to light, learners explore why a light, such as a candle or a streetlight, looks dimmer the farther away from it we get.
Automotive Emissions and the Greenhouse Effect
Source Institutions
In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.
Super Soaking Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.
Ice Roads: Steiner Trees
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use pegs (like tent pegs) and string or elastic to simulate drill sites and roads in Northern Canada.
Super Soaker
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs), learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.
