This activity (on page 2 of the PDF SciGirls Activity: Milk Carton Boat) is a full inquiry investigation into boat hull design.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

In this activity, learners measure the diameter of their water balloons, model an impact, measure the diameter of the “crater” area, and determine the ratio of impactor to crater.

In this activity, learners use multiplication skills to get groups of aliens safely back to their planet.

Even fast computers are limited to how quickly they can solve problems. One way to speed things up is to use several computers at once.

This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners keep a "SLOG" or Sleep Log to study their sleep patterns.

In this activity, learners watch a video to learn about a couple who built a home out of shipping containers in Brooklyn, New York.

This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.

In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.

In this chemistry activity, learners discover that the weight of the product of combustion is greater than that of the starting material.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

In this simple game, learners start to understand how to sort and categorize objects by trying to guess the connection between three items that someone else has chosen.
