In this activity, learners make water rockets to explore Newton's Third Law of Motion. Learners make the rockets out of plastic bottles and use a bicycle pump to pump them with air.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Double Dutch) is a full inquiry investigation into whether hearing or seeing has a bigger effect on jump rope performance.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.

This is an activity about motion, power, air and Newton’s Third Law of Motion, which states that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

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 use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

Is a square stronger than a triangle? Use tongue depressors to build simple shapes. Then apply a little weight to them and see what happens!

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.
