In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of flight by making a gliding contraption with strange looking wings. The activity explores flight with connections to the natural world.

This activity (on pages 21-32 of PDF) has learners act out several classic brain teasers.

In this activity, learners try to figure out who has their matching rock type by reading a description of their rock (no talking!).

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the value of supernovae in the universe.

In this activity, learners will observe and record living things with in outlined outside space.

In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.

What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

In this activity, learners build and play three math games. In the first game, called "Switcheroo," learners place marbles in holes 1 through 4 and 7 through 10.

In this game, learners each represent a different organism in an environment. They build a web during the activity, and discover how all the players in an ecosystem depend on each other.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Tug O' War) is a full inquiry investigation into tug-of-war physics. Groups of learners will test two tug-of-war strategies.

In this activity, learners construct three math puzzles out of simple materials like wood, string, and Styrofoam.

In this activity, one person acts as a human robot while another acts as their developer by programming their actions.

In this math lesson, learners are given 15 chips and a number line labeled from 2-12.
