Living Bones, Strong Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh
The Scoop on Scallops
Source Institutions
In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.
Ripening of Fruits and Vegetables
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.
Super Gelatin
Source Institutions
Can gelatin (like Jell-O ®) change the speed of light?
Measuring and Protecting Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.
Exploring at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.
Number Sense and Computation: An Apple a Day
Source Institutions

Chilean Sea Bass: Off the Menu
Source Institutions
In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.
Temperature vs. Height: Soda Geyser Series #6
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine how temperature will affect the height of a soda geyser.
Nutritional Challenges
Source Institutions
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
Design and Build a Better Candy Bag
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how product design differences can affect the success of a final product -- in this case a bag for holding candy.
Candy Chemosynthesis
Source Institutions
In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.
Geometry and Spatial Relations: Tessellations WOW!
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore tessellations through literature, music, writing, and art activities.
