In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this astronomy activity, learners create a model of the solar system using beads and string.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

In this activity, learners build a scale model of the solar system using a roll of toilet paper.

This activity provides instructions for learners to create models of the Earth and then to model a "day" on Earth as well as modeling the seasons.

Learners work in groups to design and build a tower out of balsa wood. As a motivator, they can compete to build a tower with the highest strength-to-weight ratio.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners cut out and fold their own collapsible origami starshade, an invention that shields a telescope's camera lens from the light of a distant star so that NASA scientists can ex

In this activity, learners use colored candy to represent subatomic particles and make a model of an atom (Bohr model).

In this activity (pages 42-49), learners discover the methods and challenges of building nanoscale structures with macroscale equipment.

In this activity, learners simulate a multistage rocket launch using party balloons, fishing line, straws, and a plastic cup.

In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with a bucket, stretchy fabric, marbles, and weights to discover some basics about gravity.

In this activity, learners build their own construction cranes using tongue depressors and pushpins.

In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

In this activity, learners explore how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a combined unit.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.

Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.
