In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

In this activity, learners make a Benham Top to explore visual illusions and optics.

In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their senses.

In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making cast models of a T. rex. First, learners read about and research how dinosaur fossils form.

Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.

In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

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, learners explore how the process of folding has impacts on engineering and is evident in nature.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore model planets (that they or an educator will create), using methods NASA scientists use to explore our Solar System.

In order to examine the random nature of mutations and natural selection, learners "breed" clutches of Egyptian Origami Birds (Avis papyrus) using random number generators (dice and coins) to mutate s
