In this activity, learners create a model of a hot air balloon using tissue paper and a hairdryer. Educators can use this activity to introduce learners to density and its role in why things float.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this three/four-day lesson, learners calculate perimeters and areas and draw the castle plan to scale.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a car that uses a battery-operated motor to "drive" at least ten feet.

In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.

In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.

In this engineering activity, learners design and build a mechanical arm to lift a small item.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.

Learners explore magnetism and motion as they build a simple marble run. Learners test different arrangements of plastic and cardboard tubes, bottles, and cups on a magnetic board.

In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.

In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.

In this activity, learners use Starburst® candy to sort, classify, compare, and graph. Learners grab a handful of one-inch candy squares, sort them by color, graph the candy, and discuss the results.

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.

This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

In this three-day lesson, learners identify two-dimensional shapes used in castle construction, create a castle collage using assorted shapes, and design tapestries using repeated patterns of color, s

In this activity, learners construct bug models that "jitter" all over the table with just a battery, motor, and counterweight.
