In this activity (18th on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory.

To learn how friction affects motion, learners build a measurement tool from a rubber band and other simple materials.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this activity, challenge learners to float a paper clip in a cup of water. Learners discover that a paper clip will sink in a cup of water, except when it is placed on a piece of paper towel.

In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.

In this activity, learners experiment with shadows and light sources to understand the relationship between the angle illumination and the shadow's length.

In this math activity, learners use non-standard measurement (paces) to find the distance from one point to another. Learners practice estimating and measuring distances .

In this activity (on page 134 of the PDF), learners explore reaction time.

In this activity, learners make some music by constructing a kazoo out of a simple plastic drinking straw. Use this activity to explore sound, vibrations, and music.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity described on pages 2-3 of the PDF, participants debate whether there there's life elsewhere in the universe.

This is an activity in which learners create magic wands from a variety of materials making their choices by considering what kind of magic they want to make.

In this activity, learners determine the shape of an unseen object by bouncing a ball off the object.

In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War), learners will test how many pennies a flat paper index card bridging the gap between two stacks of books is able to supp

In this optics activity, learners create flip books by drawing an image like an eye opening and closing on 24 small pages of paper.

In this multi-faceted game (on pages 25-35), learners recreate what happens to creatures in the Brazilian rain forest as they grow from egg to adult—especially those that use fallen, empty Brazil nut
