Aesop's Arithmetic
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 9 of the PDF), learners are introduced to Aesop's fable, "The Crow and the Pitcher." In the story, a clever crow drops pebbles into a pitcher to cause the water level
A Mole of Gas
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners use everyday materials to visualize one mole of gas or 22.4 liters of gas. The first activity involves sublimating dry ice in large garbage bag.
Colorblind Dogs
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) is a full inquiry investigation into dogs' ability (or inability) to see color.
Doghouse Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.
Making Sense of Sensors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.
Egg Bungee Jump
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.
Mirror Messages
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use mirrors to write secret messages to a friend. Use this activity to explore letters, optics, and/or symmetry.
Equatorial Sundial
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.
Avogadro's Bubbly Adventure
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.
Plankton Feeding
Source Institutions
This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.
Using a Sundial
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.
Measuring the Wind
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.
Block Bowling
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will build structures out of blocks and then roll balls to try to knock them down.
Simple Machine Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged, using everyday objects, to create simple machines to complete specific tasks.
Three Circles of Pigments
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.
Egg Bungee
Source Institutions
Learners attach an egg to a rubber-band bungee cord and drop the egg.
Raceways
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a model roller coaster to help the Mummy entertain the Atom's Family monsters. Learners assemble the roller coaster between two chairs using vinyl ceiling molding.
Marble Ride
Source Institutions
In this activity, challenge learners to design a roller coaster ride for a marble using cardboard and other simple materials.
Science of Sunblock
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl
Half Full or Half Empty
Source Institutions
In this activity (12th activity on the page), learners conduct an experiment to demonstrate how muscles are constantly feeding information to the brain about what they are doing.
