In this activity, learners will train to develop upper and lower body strength in their muscles and bones by performing body-weight squats and push-ups.

Known as the waterfall effect, this activity demonstrates adaptation in our visual system.

Learners will build a homemade pump using a balloon, a mason jar, and some straws.

In this activity (2nd activity on the page), learners explore how the nose is responsible for part of the flavor we taste in food.

In this activity (page 12), learners explore how molecules self-assemble and how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a comb

We don't normally view people upside down and so our brains aren't accustomed to it.

When you teeth clatter, they make quite the racket disproportionately to how much they actually sound to someone else.

In this activity, learners use an origami template to design eight amino acids. Learners configure the amino acids to form a protein. Use this activity to introduce proteins and amino acids.

In this activity, learners create virus models, including nucleic acid and proteins, using simple materials. This resource includes information about virus structure and gene therapy.

In this activity, learners use a chemical reaction to visualize where moisture forms on the body.

In this lab, learners evaluate the relative effectiveness of various chemical substances (i.e. garlic powder, bathroom cleaner, mouthwash, etc.) as antimicrobial agents.

In this activity, learners discover that it is difficult to trace a curve by using its reflection in a mirror. Use this activity to discuss how the brain works.
