In this activity, learners explore the concept of force and how pulleys are used in everyday life to make work easier.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

The demonstration/experiment provides quick proof that air has mass.

In this activity, learners will first learn the basics of galaxy classification and grouping.

In this activity, learners explore density, convection, stratification, and, by inference, the melting of icebergs. Learners make hypotheses, test their hypotheses, and explain their observations.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to test how fast they can react. Learners try to catch a piece of paper with a ruler printed on it (or a ruler) as quickly as they can.

In this activity, learners test the Law of Reflection based on experimental evidence. Learners produce raw data and explanations based on their data: pencil tracings of incident and reflection rays.

In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

In this activity, learners examine their fingerprints and learn that they can be categorized by shape, but each fingerprint is unique.

In this activity, learners explore how voting systems have changed with engineering advances over time. Learners work in teams to design their own voting system using easy to find materials.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Kinetic Sculpture Challenge Activity), learners will predict which objects have to overcome the most static friction to slide down a ramp.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering has made possible the development of--and ongoing improvements to--adaptive devices that serve to help individuals with a wide range o

In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

In this activity, learners explore the design of rubber band powered cars. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own rubber band cars out of everyday items.

In this activity, pairs of learners will create two make-believe dig sites by burying chicken bones in plaster of Paris--a powder that hardens when wet.

In this activity, learners train to increase muscular strength and improve upper and lower body coordination by performing the “bear crawl” and the "crab walk.” Learners perform the exercises over tim

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound), learners will construct an oboe-like instrument from a plastic drinking straw by cutting the end to split it into t

In this activity, learners explore static electricity and electrical charges while experimenting with an inflated balloon, unflavored gelatin powder, and a wool sweater.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.
