In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners extract DNA from fruit to investigate how it looks and feels.

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Roller Coaster Design Activity), learners will use food cans of many different properties (sizes, shapes, and weights) and set two cans on their sides at

In this activity, learners extract DNA from wheat germ. Use this activity to introduce learners to DNA, biotechnology and genetic engineering.

In this activity (Page 30 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by conducting sedimentation tests on different flours.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

In this activity (page 19 of the PDF) learners will create a soda bottle bioreactor by exploring the science of composting, comparing variables such as reactor design, moisture content, and nutrient r

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this activity (located on pages 23-24 of the PDF), learners are introduced to structural engineering and encouraged to practice goal-oriented building.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this activity/demo, learners discover how liquid nitrogen cools a creamy mixture at such a rapid rate that it precipitates super fine grained (nano) ice cream.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

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

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process used to cast and mold molten metal, glass, and plastics.

In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.
