In this activity, learners create a necklace of wheat germ DNA. Learners add alcohol to wheat germ so that the DNA clumps together.

In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

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 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.

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 explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

In this activity, learners explore deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), a nanoscale structure that occurs in nature.

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

Learners use Benedict’s solution and heat to test for the presence of simple sugars in glucose, sucrose, starch, and starch combined with amylase.

This experiment allows learners to experience a small scale "epidemic," demonstrating the ease with which disease organisms are spread, and enables learners to determine the originator of the "epidemi

The objective of this inquiry-based lesson is for learners to gain an understanding of how increasing ocean acidity can affect the calcification of marine organisms.
