This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

The objective of this inquiry-based lesson is for learners to gain an understanding of how increasing ocean acidity can affect the calcification of marine organisms.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners investigate the rule "likes dissolve likes" by combining three, immiscible liquids to create a colorful density column.

In this activity, learners discuss how life is defined and conduct a simple experiment, looking for signs of life in three different “soil” samples.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

In this physics activity, learners experiment with pulleys and find that they can decrease the effort needed when using a pulley to lift or move different loads.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GEMS Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into technology design and testing.

Learners build at least two different spinners (tops) to investigate how mass distribution, size, and shape affect the length of time the spinner spins.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from

In this physics activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will witness the effects of free fall by observing falling water, and will gain a better understanding of the concept of weightlessness.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

In this activity, learners investigate whether having sugar already dissolved in water affects the speed of dissolving and the movement of sugar and color through the water.
