Heavyweight Champion: Jupiter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

Surface Area and Soda Geysers
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area and reactivity.

Inverse Functions: Pennies, Pressure, Temperature, and Light
Source Institutions
The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

Formulas Poker
Source Institutions
In this adapted version of poker, learners practice writing chemical formulas by playing this chemistry card game.

Clear Slime Polymer
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners use guar gum to make slime. Use this activity to introduce learners to polymers, viscosity, and colloids.

Cooking with Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment with different variables in making hollandaise sauce to achieve the correct texture and consistency.

Rainbow Density Experiment
Source Institutions
In this colorful activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will make a multicolor density column by using different concentrations of sugar solutions.

Sublime Sublimation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sublimation by conducting experiments with dry ice.

Funny Putty
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat), learners will create a blob of stretchable funny putty out of a water, borax, and glue mixture.

Plugged in to CO2
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

Monster Mallows
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how ordinary marshmallows expand when heated in a microwave.

Divers
Source Institutions
Learners experiment with a 2-liter plastic bottle containing water and four “divers." The divers consist of open, transparent containers with the opening points downward.

How Can Gravity Make Something Go Up?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

Landing the Rover
Source Institutions
In this team design challenge (page 19-24 of PDF), learners "land" a model Lunar Rover in a model Landing Pod (both previously built in activities #3 and #4 in PDF).

Fused Plastic Wallet
Source Institutions
In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

Electric Paddle Boat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build an electric two-paddle boat using paint paddles, plastic knives, and empty water bottles.

Be a Scanning Probe Microscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate Scanning Probe Microscopes (SPM) and then work in teams using a pencil to explore and identify the shape of objects they cannot see, just as SPMs do at the nano

Creepy Crawlers
Source Institutions
Trick your family and friends with this creepy crawler that moves up and down. In this activity, learners construct a circuit and motor device that will move a homemade spider in a spooky way.

Chew that Gum
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory), learners will investigate what happens to bubble gum when it is chewed for 5-10 minutes.

Underwater Fireworks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.
