In this chemistry activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will identify the instances of physical change, chemical change, and solutions while making homemade soda pop.

In this health and genetics activity, learners determine whether tasting the bitter compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) influences which vegetables a person likes.

In this activity (Page 25 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by creating dough from different flours, observing the samples of dough as they rise, and then baking the dough.

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

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

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 (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

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

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 activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making an edible treat. First, learners read "Dinosaur Bones" by Aliki to examine how fossils are formed.

In this outdoor activity, learners construct bird feeders and set them up at to investigate bird behavior for one or two weeks. Multiple feeder designs are suggested.

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

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

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

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

In this activity, learners discover how a cabbage juice indicator helps identify acids and bases, and how iodine indicates the presence of starch.

In this activity, learners will discover why there are holes in bread.
