Why Circulate?
Source Institutions
In this activity related to the human circulatory system (on page 10 of the PDF), learners observe the dispersion of a drop of food coloring in water, draw conclusions about the movement of dissolved
Underwater Fireworks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate diffusion by creating underwater "fireworks" using food coloring, oil and water.
Odors Aloft
Source Institutions
Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.
Membrane Permeability with Beets
Source Institutions
In this lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.
Antigen-Antibody Testing: A Visual Simulation or Virtual Reality
Source Institutions
In this biology activity, learners use plastic pipettes to cut wells into the solid gel layer of agar in petri dishes and place solutions of simulated antigen and antibody preparations into the wells.
Traveling Nanoparticles Model
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.
Moving Molecules!
Source Institutions
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
Diffusion of Water with Gummy Bears
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Learners test the diffusion of water through gummy bears, which are made of sugar and gelatin (a polymer).
Energetic Water
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how hot and cold water move. Learners observe that temperature and density affect how liquids rise and fall.
Food Forensics: A Case of Mistaken Identity
Source Institutions
This lesson is designed to serve as an introduction to the immune system. It can stand alone or it can lead into further studies of the immune system.
Diffusion & Osmosis with Data Analysis
Source Institutions
This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.
Carbon Cycle Poster
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc
Liesegang Rings
Source Institutions
This display shows slow chemical reactions in colorful crystal formations known as Liesegang Rings. These reactions are similar to those forming the rings in agates.
Gelatin Used for Drug Delivery
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how gelatin can be used as a medium for drug delivery. Learners create colored gelatin and then cut out pieces of the gelatin to simulate medicine (pills).
Liquid Crystal Thermometers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore liquid crystal thermometers to observe how heat flows by conduction, convection, radiation, and evaporation.
The Jelly Bean Problem (JBP)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to eat some candy as a cell would need to as well as to think about some of the problems that arise when a cell ingests food.
Delicious Smelling Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use household materials to investigate and explore their ability to smell an odor.
Horton Senses Something Small
Source Institutions
In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.
