Super Bounce
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick), learners will investigate the transfer of energy using sports equipment.

Breathing Room
Source Institutions
In this health activity, learners explore breathing, lungs and asthma. Learners test their lung capacity by blowing air into balloons.

Graph Dance
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners "dance" (move back and forth at varying speeds) by reading a graph. This is a kinesthetic way to help learners interpret and understand how motion is graphed.

Arctic Sea Ice
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

Pyramids and Triangles
Source Institutions
Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

Comparing the Density of Different Liquids
Source Institutions
Learners carefully pour vegetable oil, water, and corn syrup in any order into a cup and discover that regardless of the order they are poured, the liquids arrange themselves in layers the same way.

Animal House
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

It's a Gas, Man
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

Life Size: What's in a microbe?
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.

Membrane Permeability with Beets
Source Institutions
In this lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.

Bouncing Balloons
Source Institutions
In this sports-themed engineering activity, learners create super bouncy balls out of balloons. Learners brainstorm, test their designs, and share results.
Let's Count Humpback Whales: Environmental Effects on Population
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use whale count data from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary to compare whale counts in relation to environmental factors.

Get the Porridge Just Right
Source Institutions
Learners set up three different bowls, each with a different mass of oatmeal. Learners monitor the temperature of the oatmeal and find that larger masses take longer to cool.
Coastal Erosion: Where's the Beach?
Source Institutions
Learners use beach profile data from a local beach or online data from Ocean City, Maryland to investigate coastal erosion and sediment transport.

¡La colocación de seis tarjetas!
Source Institutions
En esta tira cómica, Cientina le enseña a Mateo un truco de lógica nuevo con seis tarjetas.

Proportionality: The X-Plane Generation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a 1:140 "scale model" of NASA's X-33 Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) Technology Demonstrator, and investigate how the model dimensions compare to the real vehicle.

Lagging Sound
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners see and hear the speed of sound. A learner designated the "gonger" hits a gong, once every second, as the rest of the group watches and listens from a distance.
Big and Little Cups
Source Institutions
In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

Twirling in the Breeze
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

Crank It Up
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners explore simple machines and then build cardboard automata using cams.
