In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

The goal of this activity is to build a miniature bobsled that is either the fastest or the slowest. Learners use recycled materials to design, build, and test their bobsled on a bobsled track.

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

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.

This activity is about the mural making process done about 9,000 years ago in Catalhoyuk, Turkey.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

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

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

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

In this activity, learners build a stuffed-animal zip line. Learners hold a cord against a wall, hook a cute stuffed animal onto it, let the animal slide down, and records its travel time.

This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted the design and engineering of many everyday items from paint to fabrics.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

In this twist on a classic design challenge, learners will try to stop a bouncy ball from bouncing as they explore how to control the fall of an object.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners compare the number of letters in the names of the people in their families or group of friends.

In this very hands-on lesson, learners will investigate dendrochronology (the study of tree rings to answer ecological questions about the recent past) and come up with conclusions as to what possible

In this activity, learners build and play three math games. In the first game, called "Switcheroo," learners place marbles in holes 1 through 4 and 7 through 10.

In this activity, learners explore how mirrors reflect light and change the way we see things.
