In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.

This activity about cryptographic techniques illustrates a situation where information is shared, and yet none of it is revealed.

In this activity, learners discover what buoyancy is and determine the characteristics that make an object buoyant. Learners design, build, test, and evaluate boats made from a variety of materials.

In this physics activity (page 8-9 of the PDF), learners will explore wind energy. They will build their own windmill and see how energy from wind can be converted into a useable form.

Combine logic and numbers in this game for all ages. Players start with a 10x10 grid of the numbers 1 to 100. One person chooses a secret number and announces the range in which it falls.

After a discussion about what a parachute is and how it works, learners create parachutes using different materials that they think will work best.

In this activity (p.5-6 of PDF), learners investigate natural selection. Learners discover that natural selection, which takes place over decades, can lead to altered populations within a species.

Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat) is a full inquiry investigation into boat hull design.

In this activity, learners use multiplication skills to get groups of aliens safely back to their planet.

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 21 of the PDF), learners will collect data about their own sleep cycles and use a fraction wheel to examine their data.

In this activity, learners will use household items to design and build an elevator that will carry 2 passengers to a height of 16 inches...or higher!

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.

This game teaches ratio and proportion by having learners make "salads" that combine three types of beans in different combinations.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this activity, learners will explore trends in shark populations using shark landing data from the National Marine Fisheries Service.

In this math lesson, learners apply mathematical modeling to solve a real-world storage problem, in which a manufacturing company is given two options for storing oil barrels.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.
