In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.

This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?

This is a hands-on activity that uses bread and household materials to grow mold. Learners collect dust from a room, wipe it on food, and contain it. One to seven days later, mold has grown.

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.

In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.

In this plant science activity, learners role play as vegetables and weeds competing for nutrients.

In this activity related to microbes, learners use water drops and hand lenses to begin the exploration of magnification. This activity also introduces learners to the microscope.

In this activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the water currents that aquatic animals create when they breathe, feed, and propel themselves through water.

In this outdoor science/art activity, learners investigate spider webs by using string to create their own spider webs.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

In this four-day activity, learners grow bacteria and/or fungi from a variety of locations and compare the results.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.

In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Northwest Coastal region.

In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.

In this activity, learners will explore the roles of different animals in the food chain. They will create their own food chain using organisms of their choice.

Educator Amy O'Donnell from the American Museum of Natural History guides learners to create a diorama of a coral reef.
