In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra

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 environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

This lab activity is about toxic substances like pesticides and their effects on biological systems. The activity starts with an introduction of how birds sequester calcium to make an egg.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

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.

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.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use the tissue culture process to rapidly produce clones (genetic copies) of a particular plant (cauliflower, rose cuttings, African violet le

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

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

In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

In this invention challenge activity, learners create an indoor game for one or two people that gets you moving.

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.
