In this chemistry activity, learners will learn how to make their own pH indicator using cabbage leaves, and then test common household items with their homemade indicator.

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells. It includes an optional test for the presence of DNA.

In this fun snack and craft activity, young learners make "Ants on a Log" and their own model of an insect. The purpose is to learn the three main insect body parts—head, thorax and abdomen.

Why does milk make some people sick? In this activity learners explore this question and explore the chemistry of milk, and our bodies!

In this math activity, learners guess which cereals contain the most sugar. Learners use the nutrition labels on the cereal boxes to find the cereal with the least amount of sugar.

In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners test how flavoring extracts move through the walls of a balloon.

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.

In this activity, learners simulate taking HIV antiretroviral drugs by using Tic Tac mints and Kool-Aid packets.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

In this Energy and Environment activity (page 9 of the PDF), learners calculate the mass of a piece of gum, compare it to the mass of the gum's packaging, and then create a bar graph of the results.

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 activity, learners explore cooked chicken wings and identify the various parts including: bones (radius, ulna, humerus, shoulder joint, elbow joint), tendons, and cartilage.

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 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.
