In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

In this genetics meets math activity, learners take inventories of their own easily-observable genetic traits and compare those inventories with other learners in groups.

Using a milk-based recipe, learners create "moo glue" which is basically white school-type glue. The "secret ingredient" in milk that helps make glue is a chemical called casein.

In this activity about human interface design issues, learners help the Oompa-Loompas of a great chocolate factory solve different problems.

You may have tried to throw a curveball or a slider, or even a screwball, with an ordinary baseball and found it difficult to do.

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

In this activity, learners explore water pressure by conducting an experiment with a garden hose. Learners build a testing apparatus and create PVC nozzles with different sized holes.

Hooray! In this design challenge activity, learners invent a device that launches a spoonful of confetti into the air. Learners are encouraged to create the biggest cloud of confetti possible.

In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end

In this activity (pages 26-29 of the PDF), learners investigate how they can develop super memories by using mnemonic devices.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides) is a full inquiry investigation into speed and motion and takes place at a water park.

In this activity, learners try to put together toy bricks—wearing oven mitts on their hands! This activity shows learners how difficult it is to build small things when your tools are too big.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey) is a full inquiry investigation into how a hockey stick’s flex affects shooting power and accuracy.

In this engineering activity, learners test the stability of towers they build out of cups, discovering that structures with more mass in the base are more stable.

In this chemistry challenge, learners work to figure out which of four juices are real, and which is just food coloring and sugar.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment by heating an aluminum can filled with water to investigate air pressure.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).
