In this activity, learners work together to create a life-sized drawing of the human nervous system.

In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.

This mirror-tracing activity related to proprioception is a visual and motor test that involves learning a new motor skill.

In this simple activity (on page 7 of the PDF), learners use water and liquid dish detergent to see which one removes lipstick better from an index card.

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.

In this activity, learners explore genes and traits. Learners investigate their fingerprints and learn how to categorize them.

In this activity related to light and perception, learners use a pinhole in an index card as a magnifying glass to help their eye focus on a nearby object.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

In this activity, learners use a simple trick of perspective to dress friends in tiny cutout clothing. Learners make tiny pants out of card stock and tape them to the end of a stick.

In this activity, learners will make a thaumatrope, an old-fashioned optical illusion that dates back to the 1820s.

In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

In this activity, learners stain fabrics--on purpose!

This online game tests reaction time. The learner controls a computer-generated frog, and must press a button as soon as a fly appears on the game's radar screen or can be heard from the speaker.

In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners test how flavoring extracts move through the walls of a balloon.

In this activity, learners explore how dinosaurs are named and what their names mean. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.

In this activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

In this activity, learners will explore how light can refract or break apart into different colors.
