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

In this activity, learners build rockets and shoot them into the air by stomping on the plastic bottle launchers.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a tower that can support a tennis ball at least 18 inches off the ground while withstanding the wind from a fan.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a shock-absorbing system that will protect two “astronauts” when they land.

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

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a convenient way for someone using crutches or a wheelchair to carry small personal items.

In this activity, learners use things from the kitchen as building materials to explore how shapes contribute to the strength of different structures.

By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

In this activity, learners build a simple pinhole viewer. They use this apparatus to project images from a variety of light sources, including a candle, the Sun, and the Moon.

In this engineering activity, learners design parachutes to give toy figures safe landings. This activity is great for practicing an important STEM skill--changing only one variable at a time.

In this design challenge activity, learners use tubes of newspaper to make a table that’s at least eight inches tall and strong enough to hold a heavy book!

In this activity about electricity, learners imagine that they are out in the wilderness and it is getting dark. Their task is to use the materials supplied to build a simple flashlight.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

Learners investigate stress and strain by designing, building, and testing beams made from polymer clay.

Learners conduct four simple experiments to demonstrate the effects of air pressure.

In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.
