Learners are challenged to discover the relative densities of colored liquids to create a rainbow pattern in a test tube.

Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

In this experiment, learners will conduct chemical and physical tests to identify mystery substances.

As a group, learners investigate three packages which are all the same size and shape, but have different contents. One is filled with foam, one is filled with wood, and one is filled with metal.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners add dilute bleach solution to water that has been dyed with yellow, blue, and green food color.
