In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

The purpose of this lab activity is to demonstrate (through simulation) how DNA fingerprinting (or DNA profiling) might be used to solve a crime.

In this activity, learners explore the invisible infrared radiation from an electric heater.

Learners use two mirrors to explore how images of images of images can repeat forever.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

In this activity, learners test to see if carbon dioxide is present in the air we breathe in and out by using a detector made from red cabbage.

In this activity, learners conduct tests for proteins, glucose, and starch.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics) is a full inquiry investigation into how hairs from a crime scene are matched to suspects.

This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer). Learners work on designing and building a sound sensor out of household materials, like plastic wrap and cardboard.

This activity has learners interacting with live crayfish, but could be adapted for a variety of similar hardy and interesting organisms.

This hands-on astronomy activity allows you to create a “cutaway” telescope to clearly show how reflector and refractor telescopes work.

This laboratory activity helps learners understand the concept of biological succession by simulating the process in a microenvironment with various protozoans.

In this health, cooking, and math activity, learners explore nutrition and examine nutrition labels.

In this activity, learners examine antibodies and antibody recognition using a model.

In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

In this demonstration, amaze learners by performing simple tricks using mirrors. These tricks take advantage of how a mirror can reflect your right side so it appears to be your left side.

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).
