In this game, students will become familiar with fish shapes, learn that fish within a given taxonomic family have similar body shapes, and discuss how different body shapes enable fish to survive in

In this lab, learners evaluate the relative effectiveness of various chemical substances (i.e. garlic powder, bathroom cleaner, mouthwash, etc.) as antimicrobial agents.

In this activity, learners explore the importance of active play.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

This exercise can be used to stimulate the investigative nature of learners as they use forensic plant pathology techniques to prove the learners' innocence in a mock murder investigation.

In this activity, learners receive a labeled plastic film canister containing a material representing a pollutant (i.e. pencil shavings = a beaver's wood chips).

In this activity, learners examine the different materials gardeners add to their soil, and discuss how these materials are important for plant growth.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this series of exercises, learners predict the conditions necessary for bacterial growth, test their predictions and at the same time practice the aseptic techniques and safety procedures needed wh

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

In this activity, learners construct three optical illusion toys to examine how our brains play tricks on what we see.

In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit

In this genetics meets math activity, learners take inventories of their own easily-observable genetic traits and compare those inventories with other learners in groups.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

In this activity (pages 26-29 of the PDF), learners investigate how they can develop super memories by using mnemonic devices.

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.
