Salt Water Revival
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.
Busted by Biology
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners will extract their own DNA from their cheek cells and learn how DNA is analyzed and used to solve crimes.
Shapes and Angles
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 7 of PDF), learners will identify the general two-dimensional geometric shape of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater.
Treasures in the Rough
Source Institutions
In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.
Hopper Herding
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners roundup a "herd" of hopping insects and find out how many different kinds or species are in their herd.
Foam Rocket
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.
Structure of Matter: Pigment vs. Iridescence
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) about how visible light is affected by tiny nanoscale structures, producing iridescence on butterfly wings, soap bubbl
Rabbit Olympics
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits) is a full inquiry investigation into observing, recording, and graphing animal behavior.
Size, Mass, Area, and Volume
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 23 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to determine how the size and mass of a projectile affects the area and the volume of an impact crater.
Exploring Ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.
Sawing Away
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.
Freshwater Ecosystems
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.
Sand Dunes
Source Institutions
This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing
Puppet Power
Source Institutions
In this mechanical engineering activity, learners design shadow puppets with moving parts and use them to tell stories.
Infrared Investigations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.
