Hidden Alarm
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that will make their friends and family ask, "What's buzzing?" Learners design an alarm with an on/off switch that is small enough to hide.

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

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

Our Sense of Touch: Two-Point Discrimination
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

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

Our Sense of Sight: Eye Anatomy and Function
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

Moving Molecules!
Source Institutions
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

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

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

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

Cooling the Mummy's Tomb
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

Electric Gamebox Challenge
Source Institutions
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.

On Target
Source Institutions
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.
Is It Possible: Estimating Measurement
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

Designer Seeds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

The Awesome Game Race
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners design their own board games.

Chilean Sea Bass: Off the Menu
Source Institutions
In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

Doghouse Design
Source Institutions
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.

Getting Your Bearings
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

Making Sense of Sensors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.
