Tools of Magnification
Source Institutions
In this activity related to microbes, learners use water drops and hand lenses to begin the exploration of magnification. This activity also introduces learners to the microscope.

Airfoils
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners discover how an airfoil creates lift. Learners use simple materials to build an airfoil and test it at different angles to investigate Bernoulli's principle.

Spring Scale Engineering
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how spring scales work and how they are used for non-exact weight measurement.

Global Climate Change and Sea Level Rise
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.

Comparing Fractions War Card Game
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners practice comparing fractions.

Building Fractions Game
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners investigate fractions by playing a game.

Ships Ahoy!
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to design the fastest sailboat or one that carries the most treasure.

Hand Biometrics Technology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers incorporate biometric technologies into products as well as the challenges of engineers who must weigh privacy, security and other issues when designin

Air Pressure and Dent Pullers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

Aerial Imagery
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes) is a full inquiry investigation into aerial imagery.

Rotating String Shapes
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners make multi-sided polygons with string.

Light Bulb Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.

The Dead Zone: A Marine Horror Story
Source Institutions
In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
Without An Ark: The Effects of Storms and Floods
Source Institutions
April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

Stop: Practice Stopping at Vehicle Intersections
Source Institutions
This is an online game about stopping distance. Learners choose one of three vehicles and one of three speeds.

Fair Spinners
Source Institutions
In this math game (Page 9 of the Are You Game? PDF), learners determine what makes a spinner fair or unfair. Learners first play a round with a pre-made spinner that isn't very fair.
Pattern Families
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners sort patterns into similar "families" or groups that have the same pattern, but different symbols.

Burst a Bubble
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own bubble solution. Learners will explore chemistry, geometry and trial and error through this activity.
Ride on a Slide: Toys or Tubes Ride Slopes and Angles
Source Institutions
This activity is a hit for family events and all ages—some will finish in 45 minutes; others can go on for hours.

Fruity-Glows: Pictures of Health on a Microarray Canvas
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
