In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

A magic lantern is a light that projects an image onto a screen.

In this activity, learners use sieves with different-sized holes to sort balls by size.

In this activity, learners will build a ball run contraption.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.

The Butterflies in Space Teacher's Guide uses "life in space" to encourage learners to conduct their own open-ended scientific investigations.

In this activity, learners create a marble maze that contains sensors. As a metal marble triggers the sensors, the Pico Cricket turns on lights or spins motors.

In this activity about heart health (on page 34 of the PDF), learners measure their own blood pressure using an electronic blood pressure monitor with a self-inflating cuff (included in cost of materi

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

In this activity, teams of learners study magnetic fields at four separate stations: examining magnetic fields generated by everyday items, mapping out a magnetic field using a compass, creating model

Build a musical ice theremin by programming a micro controller, like a Pico Cricket to respond to resistance generated by the ice melting, or the ice being touched.

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

In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

In this activity that can be used as a lab or demonstration, learners use Lactaid® and lactose to demonstrate the concept of enzyme action.

In this technology activity, learners light up the room with electrifying play dough creations. Learners use conductive and insulating homemade play dough to build simple circuits.

In this activity (page 10), learners explore how molecules self-assemble according to forces of attraction and repulsion.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

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

In this technology activity, learners build simple circuits, design soft circuits using conductive thread, and then sew switch-activated circuits.

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