This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics) is a full inquiry investigation into how hairs from a crime scene are matched to suspects.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this optics/mathematics activity, learners use two hinged mirrors to create a kaleidoscope that shows multiple images of an object.

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under What's Nano? Activity) about size and scale.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.
