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

Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

Shimmering Lenses
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use Jell-O to explore lenses. Learners cut Jell-O into convex and concave lens shapes and examine how light exits each lens in a darkened room.

Paper making: a craft and a chemical engineering major
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the question "What is paper?" Learners discover the processes and materials required to make paper while experimenting with different recycled fibers and tools.

Lever Cowboy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

Build A Treetop Walkway
Source Institutions
Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

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

Biotechnology Through Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the history and development of agricultural biotechnology.

Living Bones, Strong Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

Evolution in Plane Sight
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

Nano Latch-n-Catch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

Restriction Enzyme Digestion: How does it work? Why is it useful?
Source Institutions
In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use restriction enzymes to cut up DNA from a virus called Bacteriophage λ, a process known as restriction digestion.

Transformation of E. coli Using Green Fluorescent Protein
Source Institutions
In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.
