In this nutrition activity (page 26 of PDF), learners consider the nutritional needs of people with specific dietary requirements, such as athletes, persons with diabetes and vegetarians, and create a

In this activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

By playing a card game similar to "Go Fish," but based on the stages of metamorphosis, learners will be able to see how insects change in form as they grow and will consider the advantages of undergoi

This is a series of quick activities/demos and pre-assessment tools that evaluate learners' current understanding of microbes and introduce them to basic information about microbes.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of forces - kinetic energy and friction while making a moving toy woodpecker.

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.

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