Algae in Excess
Source Institutions
Plants need nutrients to grow. This is why we apply fertilizers to grass and food crops. In this activity, learners will explore how fertilizers can affect lakes and other bodies of water.

Biological Succession in a Microecosystem
Source Institutions
This laboratory activity helps learners understand the concept of biological succession by simulating the process in a microenvironment with various protozoans.

Do Plants Need Light?
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

Science Cooks!
Source Institutions
In this health, cooking, and math activity, learners explore nutrition and examine nutrition labels.

Breathing Yeasties
Source Institutions
In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.

Design a Flavor: Experiment to Make Your Own Ice Cream Flavor!
Source Institutions
In this delicious activity, learners get to make, taste-test and compare their own "brands" of homemade strawberry ice cream.

Sensational Seaweed
Source Institutions
In this culinary activity, learners use multiple senses (sight, smell, touch, and taste!) to explore real seaweed samples.

Testing for Life's Molecules
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct tests for proteins, glucose, and starch.

Clippy Island: An Investigation into Natural Selection
Source Institutions
In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

Busted by Biology
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners will extract their own DNA from their cheek cells and learn how DNA is analyzed and used to solve crimes.

Engineer A Bird Feeder
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

Expose Your Nose
Source Institutions
In this simple exploratory activity (1st activity on the page), blindfolded learners try to identify mystery items by smell.

Cabbage Patch Chemistry
Source Institutions
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.

For the Birds
Source Institutions
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.

How Sweet It Is
Source Institutions
In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to rate and arrange containers filled with different dilutions of a scent (like cologne or fruit juice) in order from wea

How Plants Grow
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

Bready Bubble Balloon
Source Institutions
Learners discover the bubble power of living cells in this multi-hour experiment with baker's yeast. Learners make a living yeast/water solution in a bottle, and add table sugar to feed the yeast.

Have Your DNA and Eat It Too
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.

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

What Goes Around Comes Around
Source Institutions
In this simulation activity, learners act as parts of the circulatory system and discover how it serves as a transport system for food/nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste.
