In this technology activity, learners build an "alarming" doormat to keep siblings out of their rooms. Use this activity to teach learners about circuits, switches, and sensors.

In this activity related to music and sound vibrations, learners make a phonograph or record player out of simple materials. First, learners assemble the turntable, arm, and sound cone.

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

In this design challenge activity, learners investigate series circuits and motors to build a hand-held "kick stick." Their goal is create a battery-operated device that sends a Ping-Pong ball across

In this design challenge activity, learners make a balloon hover at eye level for five seconds, and then make it move by creating air currents.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this outdoor activity, learners first explore lizard feeding behavior by creating a "lizard rig" to dangle different objects in front of live lizards and see which objects the lizards try to bite.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this engineering activity, learners design and build a mechanical arm to lift a small item.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Soccer Ball Kick) is a full inquiry investigation into transfer of motion.

In this activity, learners demonstrate and discuss simple circuits as well as the differences between parallel and serial circuit design and functions.

In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.

A group of learners simulates the spread of disease by trading slips of paper, one set of which has been treated with a baking soda solution.

In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

In this activity, learners use sets of cards to assign microorganisms to different groups.

Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.
