In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this activity, learners create models of bugs. Learners use household materials like plastic cups and straws to create models of bugs like centipedes and spiders.

In this activity (located on page 6 of PDF), learners observe and reproduce the distinctive physical features (i.e. plates, sharp spikes, long necks, deep jaws, claws) of their favorite dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

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

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 indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

In this two-part activity about the connection between the lupine plant and butterflies, learners first read "Miss Rumphius," a storybook about lupine by Barbara Cooney.

In this activity, learners will create their own coral polyps - the basis for a coral reef.

Learners will explore the chemistry of mucous and its importance to our health by following a process to make their own replica "snot." The activity includes a time and age recommendation, a materials

In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

This fun activity uses simple materials such as milk cartons and mirrors to introduce the ideas of optics and visual perception.

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners build a model of a tide pool, using chicken wire, paper mache, and other craft materials.

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 activity (page 2 of pdf), learners craft a model of a skate egg case and come to understand that cartilaginous fish such as sharks and shakes employ reproductive strategies that differ from th
