In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners explore surface tension by adding pennies to cups which are "full" of plain water or soapy water.

In this activity, learners can play two card games related to endangered species, specifically North American amphibians.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat) is a full inquiry investigation into boat hull design.

In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.

In this outdoor activity, learners turn the fun of feeding wild birds into an investigation of bird behavior.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners keep a "SLOG" or Sleep Log to study their sleep patterns.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure by attempting to make "balloon kebabs." Learners will try to insert a wooden skewer all the way through an inflated balloon

In this activity, learners use household materials to investigate and explore their ability to smell an odor.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

In this activity, learners explore how an electromagnet works by making a simple one. Using this knowledge, learners design a diagram to make a working speaker using household materials.

In this demonstration, adult learners create a lava lamp using beer and nuts! Use this pub-themed activity to demonstrate the effects of buoyancy and bubbles.
