In this activity, learners test to see if carbon dioxide is present in the air we breathe in and out by using a detector made from red cabbage.

In this biology activity, learners use plastic pipettes to cut wells into the solid gel layer of agar in petri dishes and place solutions of simulated antigen and antibody preparations into the wells.

Learners mix a variety of substances with red cabbage juice. The juice changes color to indicate whether each substance is an acid or a base.

In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.

In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners observe a chemical reaction that produces a colorful effect.

In this experiment using sprigs of Elodea, learners will observe a natural process that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere.

Learners construct a rocket from a balloon propelled along a guide string.

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

In this activity related to climate change, learners examine albedo and the ice albedo feedback effect as it relates to snow, ice, and the likely results of reduced snow and ice cover on global temper

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Light and Color Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into mixing colors with light.

In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

Learners make a skydiver and parachute contraption and launch it. They see that the drag created by air resistance slows the descent of skydivers as they travel back to Earth.

Learners build simple catapults and use them to launch cotton balls.

In this activity, learners discover that one way to cool an object in the presence of a heat source is to increase the distance from it or change the angle at which it is faced.

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the factors that increase the rate of dissolution for a solid.
