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.

In this activity, learners construct a cereal chain as a model of how proteins are made in the cell.

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 activity (page 5 of pdf), learners explore the relationships between the shape and structure of a shark's teeth and the food it eats, and then create their own shark tooth from clay.

Learners observe the outside and inside of raw chicken eggs, record descriptions, and hypothesize what will happen when a facilitator drops an egg on the floor.

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 craft activity, learners will recognize, name, and compare the fractions 1/2, 1/4, and 1/8 by constructing a penguin out of portions of paper circles.

This is an activity about our sense of smell and how it compares to sharks' super noses. Learners will create varying solutions of water and perfume.

In this activity, learners explore the importance of active play.

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

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.

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

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

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

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

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

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

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

In this activity (on pages 34-39), learners make a fairly detailed model of DNA using licorice and gumdrops.

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.
