In this activity, learners work in pairs to measure each other's ankles with lengths of string.

In this quick activity about size and scale (on page 2 of the PDF under What's Nano?

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.

In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

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.

In this four-part activity, learners explore light and sound through a variety of hands-on investigations.

In this activity, learners discover how exercise helps keep the body healthy. Learners increase their heart rates by running and understand how running fast versus walking affects their pulse rates.

In this activity, learners create a CloudSpotter wheel and record the different types of clouds they observe twice daily over several days.

In this activity, learners act as the Earth and observe how different angles between the Sun, Earth, and Moon affect the phases of the moon we see each month.

In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.

In this puzzle, learners investigate the decisions involved in linking a network between houses in a muddy city.

In this activity, learners use a nail and magnet wire to build an electromagnet, which controls the movements of a paper dancer.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

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.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through

This interactive demonstration reintroduces learners to three states of matter (solid, liquid, gas), and introduces them to a fourth state of matter, plasma.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

In this activity related to magnetism and electricity, learners create a magnetic field that's stronger than the Earth's magnetic field.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.
