This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore the properties of metals at four stations. The stations include A) Magnetism and Breakfast Cereal; B) Conductivity of Metals; C) Alloys; and D) Metal Plating.

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.

In this online Flash game, learners test their engineering know-how, moving a collection of mechanical parts onto a board to make complete a system of parts that will move a ball from start to finish.

In this activity, learners find the answer to the question, "if you have a pile of 8 cards, and you remove half, then half again, how many times can you do this until you get to just one card?" This w

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

In this activity, learners use simple, everyday materials to experiment with balls and ramps.

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.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

In this activity, learners explore different ways to stack cups to meet a personal goal.

In this game (on pages 14-21), learners explore how each human being inherits genetic traits such as eye color.

This activity explores what it means for a computer to be intelligent and introduces the topic of what a computer program is and how everything computers do simply involves following instructions writ

This is an online Flash game where learners can experiment with ballistics and how to compensate for the varying levels of gravity found on the planets of our Solar System.

In this activity, learners play a game similar to Hangman by guessing a secret phrase to understand how computer scientists measure the amount of "information" in a document.

In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.
