In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this activity, learners investigate the relative growth of lengths, areas, and volumes as cylinders are scaled up.

In this math activity, learners experiment with the concept of symmetry.

In this quick activity, Dracula has a hole in his house and learners help solve the problem by using a mirror and protractor to reflect incoming light out of his house.

In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners will build ramps and test how the laws of physics apply do different objects. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners make a black box device that serves as an excellent analogy to Rutherford's famous experiment in which he deduced the existence of the atomic nucleus.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Hockey) is a full inquiry investigation into how a hockey stick’s flex affects shooting power and accuracy.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this math lesson, learners explore the relationship between the thickness of a spaghetti bridge, the length of the bridge, and the amount of weight that can be supported by the bridge.
