In this activity, learners will experiment with different materials that can melt and change ice.

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

In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

This fun, nighttime hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore how long it takes for light from different objects in the universe to reach Earth.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes), learners will use a magnifier to carefully examine samples of sand from different locations.

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

In this activity (located on page 10 of the PDF), learners explore the properties of spraying and dripping water, while making art.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

This simple hands-on activity demonstrates why the sky appears blue on a sunny day and red during sunrise and sunset.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners imagine what would happen if our Sun were replaced with a black hole.

In this quick activity about pollutants and groundwater (page 2 of PDF under Water Clean-up Activity), learners build a model well with a toilet paper tube.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity) is a full inquiry investigation to determine the age of fossils based on where they are discovered.

In this physics activity (page nine of the pdf), learners use balloons to explore how a rocket works. It is suggested they also work to see how they can alter the velocity of the rocket.

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