Let's Dew It!
Source Institutions
From the Weather Watchers featured theme on the CYBERCHASE website. Learners will conduct experiments to discover how air temperature and humidity work together to make condensation, dew, and fog.

Dueling Dice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore probability with dice.

Trash Traits
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.
Experiment with Fat
Source Institutions
In this nutrition/food science activity, learners conduct an experiment and record data to compare the amount of fat in different foods.

Lightest and Heaviest: Sorting Algorithms
Source Institutions
Computers are often used to put lists into some sort of order—for example, names into alphabetical order, appointments or e-mail by date, or items in numerical order.

Under Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners examine how pressure affects water flow. In small groups, learners work with water and a soda bottle, and then relate their findings to pressure in the deep ocean.

Construction Technologies: Construct the Strongest Bridge
Source Institutions
Learners work in pairs to create three simple types of bridges, a beam bridge, an arch bridge, and a suspension bridge.

Make a Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

Transit Tracks
Source Institutions
In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

Corner Reflector
Source Institutions
In this optics/mathematics activity, learners use two hinged mirrors to create a kaleidoscope that shows multiple images of an object.
Effects of Solar Radiation on Land and Sea
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

Programming Languages: Marching Orders
Source Institutions
In this activity about computer programming, learners follow instructions in a variety of ways in order to successfully draw figures.

Feeding Facilitation: A Lesson in Evolution and Sociobiology
Source Institutions
This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

Map Your World
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.

Endurance: How Many Can You Do in a Row?
Source Institutions
Combine math and exercise with this activity. Learners count how many times in a row they can skip rope or throw and catch a ball.

Wave on Wave
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.
Float or Sink?
Source Institutions
In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

Twirling Rope Frequency
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record
The Drake Equation
Source Institutions
In this math activity, based on the research of famed astronomer Frank Drake, learners calculate the possibilities of finding intelligent life elsewhere in the universe besides Earth.

LEGO Orrery
Source Institutions
Use this model to demonstrate the goal of NASA's Kepler Mission: to find extrasolar planets through the transit method.
