In this activity, learners build magnetic towers to explore the forces and properties of magnets.

In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.

In this activity about heart health (on page 27 of the PDF), learners measure their heart rates after a variety of physical activities and compare the results with their resting heart rates, and with

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.

In this activity, learners make and test fly paper helicopters. Learners use templates to create paper helicopters and then take take turns flying them in the air.

Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, learners build a cuica or chirping bird using straw, string, and a bottle cap. Use this activity to explore the interplay of motion and sound.

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

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

This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

Learners will determine their respiratory rate and explore the factors that affect breathing rate by filling out and using the Respiratory Chart provided in the lesson.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Horse Ears), learners observe how an animal responds to its own reflection.

In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.

In this activity, learners use a chemical reaction to visualize where moisture forms on the body.

In this activity, learners create a water prism to break light into the seven colors of the rainbow.

In this activity, learners concoct some stretchy green goo called Gak. This activity will introduce learners to polymers, chemical reactions, and how scientists invent new materials.
