In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

Learners explore the field of civil engineering by making a bridge using spaghetti as their primary building material.

This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off) is a full inquiry investigation into the engineering challenges of sending scientific sensors into space.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about how the arrangement of carbon atoms determines carbon's different properties.

Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.

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

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity, learners build cars using syringes and water-powered hydraulics. Learners construct the car frame out of cardboard and set up a hydraulic system to raise and lower the car.

In this activity, participants will learn about how gigantic clouds of gas and dust in space, called nebulas, are formed. They'll create their own colorful model nebula using paint and a spinner.

In this activity, learners investigate what happens when you build up static electricity on plastic balls.

In this activity, learners use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.

In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will explore how energy from moving water can be used.

The "Exploring the Solar System: Magnetic Fields" activity shows participants how scientists can use tools to study the invisible magnetic fields of Earth, the Sun, and other objects in the universe.

In this activity, learners create a large film of soap and experiment with what can and cannot pass through it.
