In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

Comparing Sizes of Microorganisms
Source Institutions
In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

Pea Brain!: Explorations in Estimation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

Personal Time Line
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.

The Search for Secret Agents
Learners tour their school or home looking for sources of indoor air pollutants (IAPs).

The Colors of Flowers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform an experiment to find out what determines a flower's color.

Straining Out the Dirt

Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.
The Earth's Timeline
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).

Looking Back Through Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

Avogadro's Bubbly Adventure
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

I Can't Take the Pressure!
Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

Tomb Mapping
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

Water Treatment
Source Institutions
Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

Battling for Oxygen
Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.
