In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.

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

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this activity, learners play a trick on their own brain to see if the brain can learn to ignore distracting input. Colors and words are used to play the visual trick, known as a Stroop Test.

In this activity, learners will learn about proprioception, or the body's sense of its place and position in space.

In this activity, learners construct a playable kazoo from inexpensive materials. They will experience how vibration creates sound waves and music.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

In this archaeology-related activity, learners build their own time capsule and choose a storage location and a date to reopen it.

In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity, learners create handmade animal track stamps. Learners research animal tracks, draw the shapes on moleskin, and then stick the shapes onto blocks of wood to make stamps.

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

In this activity, learners conduct scientific research on multitasking. Learners determine if multitasking with media while doing homework affects their ability to successfully complete the homework.

By building a simple watershed with paper and markers and then using a spray bottle to simulate precipitation, learners will understand how pollution accumulates in our water sources, especially from

In this optics activity, learners examine how polarized light can reveal stress patterns in clear plastic.

This laboratory activity helps learners understand the concept of biological succession by simulating the process in a microenvironment with various protozoans.

Cool off in the heat with this project! Learners use simple materials to build a fan that runs on a motor.

In this long-term activity, learners make a home for a colorful community of microorganisms.
