Source Institutions
In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.
Clean Water: Is It Drinkable?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.
Gel Electrophoresis
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.
Supporting Structures
Source Institutions
In this activity about living things and gravity (page 5 of PDF), learners design and build an exoskeleton or an endoskeleton for an animal of their own invention.
Leaves: Designing Leaf Arrangements on a Branch
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.
Slimy Cells
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.
Earth Atmosphere Composition
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.
