In this activity, learners explore a scale by comparing objects, which look similar but have different weights. Learners predict and then measure the weights of various objects using a scale.

In this activity, learners determine the elastic and plastic properties of different types of metal wires.

Get all wrapped up in a lesson about skin!

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this activity, learners compare ways to measure their heart rates. Learners build their own stethoscopes and learn how exercise affects heart rate.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

In this activity, learners will investigate the impacts of harmful phytoplankton using NOAA's Coastal Services Center Harmful Algal Bloom Forecasting (HABF) Project data.

In this activity, learners build a recording timer made from simple materials (e.g., small dc motor, sharpie pen, craft sticks, adding machine paper tape, etc.).

In this two-part activity, learners explore the properties of liquid crystals, which are responsible for why mood rings change color.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this activity, learners build small indoor paper rockets, determine their flight stability, and launch them by blowing air through a drinking straw.

In this math activity, learners guess which cereals contain the most sugar. Learners use the nutrition labels on the cereal boxes to find the cereal with the least amount of sugar.

In this math lesson, learners explore transformations and quadratic functions through toothpick patterns.

In this activity, learners are introduced to tree rings by examining a cross section of a tree, also known as a “tree cookie.” They discover how tree age can be determined by studying the rings and ho

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.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs) is a full inquiry investigation into using indicator species to assess the health of an environment.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

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

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from
