In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Water in Our World), learners make their own water treatment systems for cleaning water.

In this activity, learners build a model of a self-sustaining habitat (growing grass and beans from seeds).

Learners discover that their breath contains carbon dioxide, one of the pollutants found in car exhaust.

In this activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.

In this quick activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Lift Off), learners will use the ever-popular soda geyser experiment to test the reactivity of the various sugar candies or mints.

In this activity, learners recreate the lunar phases using the frosting from Oreo® cookies and place the phases in order. Round cream cheese crackers can also be used if cookies are not an option.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

In this family or group activity, learners conduct a chromatography experiment to reveal the colors that leaves "hide" under their green pigments.

This multi-part activity from the National Parks Service blends the science of plate tectonics with the culture and history of places with dramatic geologic landscapes.

Learners investigate how the temperature of water affects its density.

In this activity, learners use objects they find on a nature and water to make creative frozen sculptures.

In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.

In this activity, learners design a scientific exploration mission to a planet or moon of their choice.

The "Exploring the Solar System: Magnetic Fields" activity shows participants how scientists can use tools to study the invisible magnetic fields of Earth, the Sun, and other objects in the universe.

In this outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.

In this activity, participants will learn how stars form from the dust and gas that exists in space clumping together.

In this online interactive challenge, learners choose items to represent the Earth or solar system, then determine other items to represent the Moon, or Milky Way based on their relative size.
