In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a four-stringed instrument that can play a tune.

Learners will build a homemade pump using a balloon, a mason jar, and some straws.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this activity about human anatomy (page 16 of PDF), learners construct a model arm and discover how muscles and bones work together to achieve efficient movement.

In this activity about the heart (on page 22 of the PDF), learners examine sheep or chicken hearts to learn about the heart's structure and the flow of blood through the heart.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

This activity is intended to familiarize learners with native Houston birds, introduce learners to tools biologists use in the field, and to enhance their observation skills.

Learners mark their traits for tongue rolling, PTC tasting (a harmless, bitter chemical), and earlobe attachment on tree leaf cut-outs.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 106: My Mushy Banana, learners explore the effects of decay by comparing and contrasting something (an old pumpkin) that's decayed with the same thi

In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF), learners will play a game using their observation and listening skills, interpreting clues from each other to deduce their secret animal identity.

This is a guide for facilitating interaction at a touch tank with marine animals. The instructions are for setting up a display in an informal science center, but could work anywhere.

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

In this activity (page 12), learners explore how molecules self-assemble and how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a comb

In this game, learners cross off or color bingo squares in response to questions about their traits.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.
