In this demonstration, amaze learners by performing simple tricks using mirrors. These tricks take advantage of how a mirror can reflect your right side so it appears to be your left side.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer).

Build a musical ice theremin by programming a micro controller, like a Pico Cricket to respond to resistance generated by the ice melting, or the ice being touched.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

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 life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.

Put on a pair of gloves and be the conductor of your invisible orchestra!

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

In this chemistry challenge, learners combine acids and bases in a universal indicator to create five different colors.

In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

In this activity, learners design, build and test wind turbines. Learners go through the design process and use the scientific method to test important blade variables.

Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the composition of unseen materials using a variety of tools.

In this activity, learners consider how a simple machine, a lever, turns a small push or pull (a small force) into a larger--or stronger--push or pull (a larger force).

In this experiment, learners use JOY liquid detergent and glycerin to make the largest bubble they can that lasts 15 seconds.

A magic lantern is a light that projects an image onto a screen.
