In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this activity, learners create a CloudSpotter wheel and record the different types of clouds they observe twice daily over several days.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

In this activity, learners build a tool called an inclinometer that can find the height of any distant object, from a tree to the North Star.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

In this math lesson, learners make estimates to analyze the number of apples per acre, and visualize the magnitude of one million.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF) has learners create models of butterfly wings.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

In this activity, learners manipulate paper to build original 3-dimensional sculptures. Appropriate for any age, learners can use fingers to tear, crumple, or fold, and if available, scissors to cut.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

In this math activity, each learner creates a book about themselves using a template. Learners discuss the different parts of the body and practice measuring their body parts using crayons.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into organisms and the health of their ecosystems.

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.
