Create a Food Diary
Source Institutions
In this nutrition activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will record their food consumption for one day, and then evaluate how their actual diet matched up with the recommended diet.
Dancing Compasses
Source Institutions
Learners use compasses to detect the magnetic field created by current moving through a wire. This is one of four activities learners can complete related to PhysicsQuest 2008.
Mechanical Grabber
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, challenge learners to make a "grabber" that can pick up trash. Learners use simple materials to create pinchers that can grab small items.
Garden Poles
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.
No Saliva, No Taste?
Source Institutions
In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

Patterns in Pixels
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2) draws upon a familiar, computer-based concept related to visual resolution: pixilation.
Pepper Scatter
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners break the tension that happens when water develops a "skin." Learners use water, pepper and some soap to discover the wonders of surface tension—the force that attract
The Egg Activity
Source Institutions
Learners observe the outside and inside of raw chicken eggs, record descriptions, and hypothesize what will happen when a facilitator drops an egg on the floor.
Animal Guess Who
Source Institutions
In this game, learners take turns guessing toy animals from around their house based on the toy's characteristics.
Explore Like a Scientist: Fruity Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.
Music and Sound
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Music and Sound) is a full inquiry investigation into sound frequency.
