In this interdisciplinary activity, learners create a Space Weather Action Center (SWAC) to monitor solar storms and develop real SWAC news reports.

In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

This series of chemistry stations is designed to accompany the PBS documentary about African-American chemist "Percy Julian: Forgotten Genius." Each of the six stations features either a chemical or p

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

Ancient trash tells archaeologists a lot about the past. In this activity, learners take a close look inside their trash can and think about the clues it offers about their lives.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use the tissue culture process to rapidly produce clones (genetic copies) of a particular plant (cauliflower, rose cuttings, African violet le

In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine out of cardboard that runs smoothly and dependably. Learners must be precise to make sure their component works properly.

Using indirect methods, learners determine the shape and size of a piece of carpet hidden under a piece of plywood.

This activity (page 3 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) is a full inquiry investigation into fossil hunting and identification.

In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

In this activity, learners explore engineering package designs that meet the needs of safely shipping a product.

In this activity, learners explore the history, design and motion of spinning tops. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own tops out of everyday items.

In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).
