In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

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

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

In this activity, learners will engineer three different parachutes to test how well each one works.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this activity, learners will engineer a roof using simple materials to protect a construction paper person from a rainstorm.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this activity, learners calculate their water usage (in cups and galloons) during an average shower. Learners also chart and analyze water usage during showers in their households.

In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

In this activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting), learners will construct an air cannon by cutting a hole in the bottom of a bucket and stretching a garbage bag over the other end
