In this activity, learners conduct scientific research on multitasking. Learners determine if multitasking with media while doing homework affects their ability to successfully complete the homework.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Luge) is a full inquiry-based challenge related to motion and design optimization.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

In this water activity, learners build boats that float and sink. First, learners listen to the book, "Who Sank the Boat" and practice making predictions throughout the story.

In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

Birds' beaks are designed to allow birds to get the most of whatever food they need. In this activity, learners get an idea of how different beak shapes suit different food sources.

In this two part activity, learners work in pairs or individually to discover how vectoring the thrust from a jet engine affects movement of an airplane.

In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.

In this activity learners will "rescue" animals from tape and then sort the animals. Learners will use science process skills such as categorizing and making observations while they play.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

In this activity, learners will build thier own balance scale. Learners will explore weight and comparison through this activity.

In this activity (located on page 3 of the PDF), learners investigate the way water moves and how we can control and direct water.

This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.

In this physics activity, learners will explore buoyancy.

In this nutrition activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will record their food consumption for one day, and then evaluate how their actual diet matched up with the recommended diet.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

This activity (page 2) draws upon a familiar, computer-based concept related to visual resolution: pixilation.

Learners observe the outside and inside of raw chicken eggs, record descriptions, and hypothesize what will happen when a facilitator drops an egg on the floor.
