In this activity, learners will make and launch feather rockets. Lerners will use science process skils such as making predictions and measuring while launching the rockets.

“Exploring the Solar System: Pocket Solar System” is a hands-on activity in which visitors make a scale model of the distances between objects in our solar system.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to build a tower out of 10 sheets of newspaper and 3 feet of masking tape, which can hold a golf ball balancing at the top.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes), learners will use a magnifier to carefully examine samples of sand from different locations.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

In this activity (on pages 49-54 of PDF), learners play with tangrams, a set of triangles, squares and a parallelogram that can combine into a larger square as well as all sorts of other shapes.

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

In this activity, learners conduct scientific research on multitasking. Learners determine if multitasking with media while doing homework affects their ability to successfully complete the homework.

This laboratory activity helps learners understand the concept of biological succession by simulating the process in a microenvironment with various protozoans.

In this activity, learners will explore how and why weight distribution works.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

This activity (8th activity on the page) tests learners' ability to identify things using only the sense of hearing.

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

In this activity, learners will put a set of containers in order by capacity. Would the tallest container hold more or less water than the wide, short one?

This activity helps students learn how computers "compress" text by identifying repeating patterns of letters, words, and phrases.

Use this activity to build division and number sense into any snack time or whenever there is a limited set of things to share among a group: If we deal these out, could everyone get two pieces?

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.
