In this activity (9th activity on the page), learners work in pairs to see how their perception of touch differs from reality.

This is an educator-led demonstration of microarray technology using a model created from a pizza box and ping-pong balls.

In this activity, learners investigate the touch sensory system and discover how to plan and carry out their own experiments.

In this neuroscience activity (4th activity on the page), learners make their own set of Von Frey hairs to test detection thresholds.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity (10th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make Braille letters out of cork or cardboard and map pins.

In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.

This is a chemistry lab activity about solutions (page 7 of the PDF). Learners see firsthand how chemicals in a solution can combine to form an entirely different substance.

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

In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

In this science trick, learners get an egg to stand-up on its long-axis vertical to a table's top.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this activity about depth perception, learners create an optical illusion in a shoe box.

In this activity, learners discover a brain process called habituation.

In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.

Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.
