Guar Gum Slime
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a gelatinous slime using guar gum powder and borax. Educators can use this simple activity to introduce learners to colloids.
Make Your Own Compass
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will make their very own working compass.
3-2-1 POP!
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners build their own rockets out of film canisters and construction paper.
DNA Nanotechnology
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.
Colored Shadows Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Light and Color Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into mixing colors with light.
Altered Reality
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.
Foam Tower
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Water Slides), learners will whip up some suds with a cup of water and a tablespoon of dish soap until the bubbles are stiff enough to star
Single-Cell Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.
What Counts in Bounce
Source Institutions
In this activity learners compare the bounciness of warm and cold racquetballs to see if temperature makes a difference in how well they bounce.
Easy PEAsy Seed Germination
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners determine the necessary conditions for pea seed germination.
Crystal Gardens
Source Institutions
In this activity, which requires adult supervision, learners get to explore the awesome power of chemistry.
Change in Temperature: Endothermic Reaction
Source Institutions
Learners investigate signs of a chemical reaction when they mix vinegar and baking soda. In addition to a gas being produced, learners also notice the temperature decreases.
Temperature Affects the Solubility of Gases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners heat and cool carbonated water to find out whether temperature has an effect on how fast the dissolved gas leaves carbonated water.
Chemistry in the Kitchen
Source Institutions
In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the
What Molecules Make the Holes in Bread?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.
Forensic Science: Hair Sample Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics) is a full inquiry investigation into how hairs from a crime scene are matched to suspects.
Getting Windy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create and understand surface currents. Learners create example surface currents and discover how landmasses affect the current.
Animal Ears
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Horse Ears) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior and communication.
Glow Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.
Weather Stations: Phase Change
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe the water cycle in action! Water vapor in a tumbler condenses on chilled aluminum foil — producing the liquid form of water familiar to us as rain and dew.
