In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate the impact of oil pollution on the environment and wildlife. Learners use hard-boiled eggs and feathers to understand the damage that oil spills can cause.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners will observe a deceptively simple process: a burning candle.

In this activity, learners discover the principles of edible glass by making a supersaturated sugar solution.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

In this activity, learners use three types of cheesy snacks--cheese balls, cheese puffs, and Cheetos--to learn about polymers.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Luge) is a full inquiry-based challenge related to motion and design optimization.

In this activity, learners explore atoms as the smallest building blocks of matter. With adult help, learners start by dividing play dough in half, over and over again.

In this activity, learners explore the principles of magnetism by observing how various materials interact with magnets and superconductors.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

In this activity/demo, learners are introduced to the connection between medieval stained glass artisans and nanotechnology.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this activity, learners explore the devices used over time to measure changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners explore chemical engineering and how the processes of chemical plating and electroplating have impacted many industries.
