In this activity, learners predict whether a ball on Earth or a ball on the Moon bounces higher when dropped and why.

In this online activity about heart disease, learners will pick one of three patients (based on actual patient histories) and help a cardiologist diagnose and prescribe treatments for him or her.

In this activity, learners create a straw oboe to explore sound and pitch.

In this activity, learners explore density and buoyancy as they design and construct rafts.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this activity, learners explore the chemical reaction between water and effervescent antacid tablets. This hands-on activity models how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this simple chemistry activity (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) about acids and bases, learners will mix a baking soda and water solution and use it to paint a message on a

In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, learners investigate how changing the center of gravity of a balloon affects how it travels. Learners fill a balloon with a little bit of water and insert into an empty balloon.

In this activity (3rd on the page), learners investigate circadian rhythms by examining how well people do with estimating time.

Learners build at least two different spinners (tops) to investigate how mass distribution, size, and shape affect the length of time the spinner spins.

In this activity, learners make water-walking critters using thin wire, and then test how many paper clips these critters can carry without sinking.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

In this activity, learners observe color mixing and absorbency using colored tissue paper and spray bottles.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this demonstration/activity, learners observe as a regular size marshmallow is blown through a tube made from a manila file folder.

In this activity, learners follow a recipe to create play dough scented with fruit-flavored drink mix.
