In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch), learners will stand twelve feet apart swinging a rope at the slowest tempo possible while someone uses a stopwatch to record

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners create a low-tech refrigerator that requires no electricity to keep food from spoiling.

This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

In this activity, learners use Styrofoam to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this outdoor/indoor activity, learners collect ants and dirt to create an ant farm in a cup that they can observe over time.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.
