This activity is on page 3 (continued on page 2) of the pdf, part of the Simple Machines Discovery Box. In this fun activity, learners "create" a complex machine by simulating the parts in action.

In this online Flash game, learners will captain a sailing challenge, adjusting boat direction and sails, seeking the way to take greatest advantage of varying wind speeds and directions to catch the

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

Spin in an office chair holding milk jugs! Plus, learn physics. Very fun (but stay safe) activity from the Exploratorium Science Snacks series.

This is an online activity about acceleration. Learners will choose a speed and an angle in order to help a water-skier named Fonzie use a ramp to clear a shark.

In this activity, learners balance chemical equations and discover the law of conservation of mass. Learners use coins to model molecules to balance the equations.

In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.

In this dramatic activity/demonstration about phase change and condensation, learners place an aluminum can filled with about two tablespoons of water on a stove burner.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners will play a game with a ball to demonstrate the Coriolis force, which partly explains why hurricanes in the Northern Hemisphere rotate counterclockwise.

In this activity, learners make a scale model of an atom to see how big or how small an atom is compared to its nucleus. Learners will realize that most of matter is just empty space!

In this activity related to the famous "Stroop Effect," learners explore how words influence what we see and how the brain handles "mixed messages." Learners read colored words and are asked to say th

In this activity (6th on the page), learners investigate how photoreceptors in the eye (rods and cones) "adapt" to low light conditions.

In this game (4th activity on the page) about hearing, learners test their ability to identify various sounds without looking.

On an airplane trip, learners have an opportunity to investigate the properties of air pressure at different altitudes.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this optics activity, learners experiment with polarizers (small dark rectangles) to examine light intensity.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

This is an online game recreating the longest ever (at that point in time) freefall jump by Air Force Captain Joe Kittinger.

In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

Learners color and cut out a spiral-shaped snake. When they hang their snake over a radiator, the snake spins.
