In this activity, learners will explore how their own eyes work by experimenting with their photoreceptors.

In this activity, learners will build an air cannon out of simple materials you can find around the house. Although air is invisible to the eye, it is not by any means empty space!

In this activity, learners investigate how wolves communicate with each other through different body postures.

In this activity, learners try to blow up a balloon hanging inside of an empty bottle.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.

In this activity about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.

Using information from the My Place in Space lithograph, learners write and/or draw a postcard to friends and family as if they had gone beyond the interstellar boundary of our Solar System, into the

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

In this activity, learners slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.

In this activity, learners build their own rockets from paper, coffee stirrers, and tape. Learners discover that when anything flies, air pressure is always involved.

This activity about density provides instructions for making a miniature "lava lite" with just salt, oil, water, and food coloring.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

Learners roll their fingerpads in ink pads, and then press their fingerprints onto balloons. Learners inflate the balloons to produce enlarged versions of their fingerprints.

In this activity, learners observe the hydrologic cycle in action as water evaporates and condenses to form rain right before their eyes.

In this quick activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish), learners will build a simple Cartesian Diver in an empty 2-liter bottle.

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

In this activity, learners light an LED with five cents. Learners use two different metals and some sour, salty water to create a cheap battery.

In this online version of the classic paper and pencil game, learners practice looking ahead to anticipate an opponent's move.
