In this family or group activity, learners create a nature journal by visiting a local nature center or backyard, observing creatures in their natural habitats, and sketching what they see.

In this chemistry activity, learners use chemical reactions to observe the composition of an alloy.

In this weather activity, learners build their own wind detector and test for the presence of convection currents in their indoor location.

Sound can travel through a variety of media.

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.
