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

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

Make snack time into measuring time and learn to read Nutrition Facts labels. Try this when you’re using “pourable” foods, such as cereal, yoghurt, or juice.

In this activity, the learner asks yes-no questions to identify a secret object (similar to Twenty Questions). This game is easy to adapt for different ages and different kinds of contexts.

This activity (page 2) draws upon a familiar, computer-based concept related to visual resolution: pixilation.

In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound) is a full inquiry investigation into sound frequency.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.
