In this activity, learners prepare four polymer elastomers and then compare their physical properties, such as texture, color, size, and bounce height.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

In this activity, learners build bridges using paper and explore how much weight each bridge design can support.

In this neuroscience activity (4th activity on the page), learners make their own set of Von Frey hairs to test detection thresholds.

In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into mapping the underground “plumbing” of geysers.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

In this activity, learners investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Learners test the diffusion of water through gummy bears, which are made of sugar and gelatin (a polymer).

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.

In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.

In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this online game, learners must purchase power plants for their city.

In this activity, learners design a bungee jump for an egg using nylon stockings.

In this simple activity, learners discover how a mere piece of paper can be used to hold up the weight of a heavy book.
