Sea Level: On The Rise
Source Institutions
Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

Fossil Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

Properties of Dust
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.

Water Fountain
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

Tennis Anyone?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

Build a Coral Polyp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

Tree Tally
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

EEEEK--A Mouse!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering solved the problem of human/computer interface.

Periscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to look over ledges or around corners.

Wonderful Weather
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

Reason for the Seasons
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.

Energetic Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.

Find Your Way Around Without Visual or Sound Cues
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a series of simple games to investigate navigation without visual and sound cues.

Parachute Parade
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

Energy For Life
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

Metallophone
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing an instrument using some metal pipes, rubber bands, and a baseboard.

Two Button Buzzer Circuit
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore an everyday situation, where either of two or more buttons can ring a buzzer.

Fossil Age Estimation Model
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs), learners will model how paleontologists estimate the age of fossil discoveries by extracting “fossil” playing cards from newspa

The Decayed Pumpkin
Source Institutions
In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 106: My Mushy Banana, learners explore the effects of decay by comparing and contrasting something (an old pumpkin) that's decayed with the same thi

Wild or Domestic Animal Game
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF), learners will play a game using their observation and listening skills, interpreting clues from each other to deduce their secret animal identity.
