In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.

In this activity, learners create a CloudSpotter wheel and record the different types of clouds they observe twice daily over several days.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

In this activity, learners make different shapes that hold exactly one mole of gas (air).

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.

In this space science activity, learners work together to create a human-powered orrery to model the movements of the four inner planets.

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

In this activity (on page 4), learners create a submarine using a plastic sandwich bag. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and how captured gas can cause objects to float.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

In this activity, learners create a tornado in a bottle to observe a spiraling, funnel-shaped vortex. A simple connector device allows water to drain from a 2-liter bottle into a second bottle.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

In this board game, learners explore the origins of meteors, meteoroids, and meteorites as well as the their characteristics and importance. They also discover some misconceptions about meteors.
