To convey the concept of how animals adapt to survive, this game asks learners to imagine what adaptations a given animal would need to live in a certain environment—including environments where such

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

In this simulation, learners use M&M™ candy to explore radioactive isotope decay.

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 create a sealed, mini ecosystem that supplies freshwater shrimp with food, oxygen, and waste processing for at least three months.

Learners combine different plant solutions -- made from fruits, vegetables, and flowers -- with equal amounts of vinegar (acid), water (neutral), and ammonia (base).

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.

In this activity, learners test the pH of safe liquids available at home by creating a pH indicator from mashed blueberries.

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.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

This is a highly visual demonstration that illustrates both the effects of density and chemical reactions.

In this activity, learners review the history of gumball machines and explore potential and kinetic energy, while working in teams to build a gumball slide.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build the tools they need to survive being shipwrecked on a deserted island.

In this activity, learners explore what happens when polarized white light passes through a sugar solution.
