This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Hockey Sticks Activity) about composites, materials made of 2 or more different components.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hovercraft) is a full inquiry investigation into hovercraft engineering and design optimization.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this lesson, learners develop a robot arm using common materials. Learners explore design, construction, and teamwork, as well as materials selection and use.

In this activity, learners discover that they can modify a regular piece of paper so that it's large enough for them to walk through!

In this math lesson, learners explore polynomial and rational function patterns.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this math lesson, learners use the setting of a flower-making fundraiser to explore a variety of patterns. Learners examine the patterns in a flower design made of triangles surrounding a square.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

Before there were clocks, people used shadows to tell time. In this outdoor activity, learners will discover how to tell time using only a compass, a pencil, a handy printout, and a sunny day.

In this math lesson, learners identify, describe, and construct the five regular polyhedra.

In this activity, learners use cardboard bases and track tubes to make a ball run to explore the properties of mass, force, and motion.

Learners recreate the classic egg-drop experiment with an analogy to the Mars rover landing. The concept of terminal velocity will be introduced, and learners perform several velocity calculations.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.
