In this activity, learners are divided into teams.

In this demonstration, cook a cake using the heat produced when the cake batter conducts an electric current.

In this activity, learners create a gelatinous slime using guar gum powder and borax. Educators can use this simple activity to introduce learners to colloids.

In this activity, learners separate the components of Gatorade using a home-made affinity column.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from wheat germ using simple materials.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners extract DNA from fruit to investigate how it looks and feels.

In this collection of demonstrations, learners explore Newton's Laws of Motion.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can be extracted from a chunk of thymus (sweetbread) or liver.

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 lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from lima bean bacteria. This experiment requires the use of a centrifuge (not included in cost of materials).

In this activity, learners explore trebuchet design. Teams of learners construct trebuchets from everyday materials.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

This activity uses Jell-O(R) to introduce learners to microfluidics, the flow of fluids through microscopic channels.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi
