In this activity, learners create night lights using a plastic cup, programmable PICO Cricket, tri-color LED, and sensor.

In this activity, learners create painting machines that can paint moving forwards and backwards.

In this activity, learners build bridges and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with straws and pins.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity about molecular diffusion (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity), learners will make predictions and move molecules of iodine through a seemingly solid plastic sandw

In this activity, learners create a model of a hot air balloon using tissue paper and a hairdryer. Educators can use this activity to introduce learners to density and its role in why things float.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF), learners create a low-tech refrigerator that requires no electricity to keep food from spoiling.

In this fun physics activity (page 9 of the pdf), learners take part in a paper airplane design challenge.

In this engineering activity, challenge learners to construct a paper bridge that can support 100 pennies.

Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.

In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

See what force a magnet has on a wire that has current running through it: will it push it, pull it, or will nothing happen? This is the foundation of a simple electric motor.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to help Pharaoh design a better insulated tomb.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent a pinball-like game where a kick stick hits a ping pong ball into a target that buzzes.

In this design challenge activity, learners modify a cup so it can carry a marble down a zip line and also drop it onto a target.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Doghouse Design) is a full inquiry investigation into absorption and reflection of radiant energy.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this physics activity, learners assemble and/or investigate a pendulum "snake." Several large steel hex-nuts are suspended on strings of successively increasing length to form a series of pendulums

In this activity about transfer of energy, learners get to build their own catapult using nothing more than a plastic spoon and some tape.
