In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

In this optics activity, learners explore how many objects they can see in a set of mirrors (hinged like a book) at various angles.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

In this activity, the learner will experiment with the physics of sound production while making a sound making toy. The activity includes a video with step by step instructions.

In this engineering design challenge, learners animate a facial expression and make a machine (zoetrope) that plays the animation back.

In this activity, learners use an old CD to construct a spectroscope, a device that separates light into its component colors.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

In this is activity about sound and vibration, learners create their own 'flutes' with drinking straws, then investigate how changing the length of the straw affects the sounds that are produced.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

Learners conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects.

In this paleontology activity, learners explore the system behind dinosaur nomenclature.

In this game-like activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their auditory acuity as well as the importance of having two ears.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to create giant bubbles.

In this activity (18th on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that replicates the dilemma faced by birds in acquiring food from a confined area.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when they give a light source like a neon glow lamp a "Bronx Cheer." The lights appear to wiggle back and forth and flicker when learners blow air throu
