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.

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

Water Breathers
Source Institutions
In this activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the water currents that aquatic animals create when they breathe, feed, and propel themselves through water.

Microbes are Everywhere
Source Institutions
In this four-day activity, learners grow bacteria and/or fungi from a variety of locations and compare the results.

An Interdisciplinary Deer and Human Population Study
Source Institutions
This activity helps the learner answer the question: "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" Learners play a

Bury Me Not!
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

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

Biotech in a Bag
Source Institutions
In a series of three experiments, learners explore the basics of biotechnology using self-locking plastic baggies. Each experiment demonstrates a phenomenon or principle of biotechnology.

Take a Plant to Lunch
Source Institutions
Learners make a "menu" of any plants in their lunch for Monday through Friday and draw the plants from their lunch.

Bird Beaks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.

Yeast-Air Balloons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a yeast-air balloon to get a better idea of what yeast can do. Learners discover that the purpose of leaveners like yeast is to produce the gas that makes bread rise.

Owl Pellets
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will investigate the contents of owl pellets. Learners will discover how owls digest their food as well as the kind of animals they eat.

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.

How to Extract DNA From Anything Living
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

Discovery Time: Trees
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore tree structure and biology. Tree products are explored by painitng with fruit.

Color-Changing Carnations
Source Institutions
Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

Frog Eggs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare frog eggs to chicken eggs to better understand why frog eggs need water. Learners compare a boiled chicken egg to "frog eggs" represented by boiled tapioca.

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.

Cabbage Chemistry
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners make an acid-base indicator using cabbage. Learners then explore how various subtances react with this indicator.

Aye-Aye
Source Institutions
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.
