In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.
The Scoop on Habitat
Source Institutions
Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.
Envirolopes
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

Design a Grabbing Tool
Source Institutions
Using simple materials from around the house and recycled materials, learners will engineer a grabber device to pick up and put down objects that are at least 12 inches away.
Stem Cell Differentiation Game
Source Institutions
This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.
Plastics the Second Time Around
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test and compare the physical properties of thermoplastic polymers. Learners compare different plastics based on their color, degree of transparency, texture, and density.
Engineer A Bird Feeder
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.
What Does Spit Do?
Source Institutions
Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.
Laser Projection Microscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a laser pointer to project a microscopic image of a liquid sample suspended from the tip of a syringe.
Molecular Menagerie
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.
Creating a Local Field Guide
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners survey living organisms near where they live or go to school, and create a local field guide.
Pollinator Bingo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will use their five senses to explore a nature-based area around them.
Bird Watching
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.
