In this activity (Page 22 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by washing different types of dough with water and comparing the results.

In this physics demonstration, learners will be surprised when a lemon slice appears to magically levitate within a pint glass.

In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners move pom-pom "ions" across a membrane to simulate how an action potential is propagated along an axon.

In this chemistry activity, learners use spaghetti to explore density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners build a model of a self-sustaining habitat (growing grass and beans from seeds).

This is an activity about acid-base reactions using eggs and vinegar. Learners place eggs inside a container of vinegar and leave to soak overnight.

In this activity, learners use marshmallows and gum drops to construct seven models of molecules. Learners classify (solid, liquid or gas) and draw diagrams of the molecules.

In this chemistry meets cooking activity, learners compare the stability of egg white foams with various additives.

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.

In this activity, learners use edible models of the DNA molecule to transcribe an mRNA sequence, and then translate it into a protein.

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

In this activity (Page 30 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by conducting sedimentation tests on different flours.

In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.

In this activity, learners make slides of onion cells and their own cheek cells. Use this lab to teach learners how to prepare microscope slides and use a microscope.

In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

As a long-term project, you can rear monarch butterflies at home or in a classroom.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.
