Fish forms
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a three-dimensional sculpture while examining the characteristics of fish.

Smaller Than You Think
Source Institutions
Learners compare a life-size drawing of a Tyrannosaurus rex head and a full-size Sinornithosaurus body to understand that dinosaurs varied in size.

Introduction to Ocean Zones
Source Institutions
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

Dinosaur Flesh and Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons.

Slimy Cells
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

Straining Out the Dirt
Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

Bee Builders
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a beehive using simple materials.

Build A Treetop Walkway
Source Institutions
Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

Exploring Size: Scented Solutions
Source Institutions
This is an activity in which learners will find that they can detect differences in concentration better with their nose (smelling) than with their eyes (seeing).

Acid (and Base) Rainbows
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).

Can Nutrients in Water Cause Harm?
Source Institutions
In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.
Fish Prints
Source Institutions
In this hands-on art activity, learners will study and identify features of the external anatomy of a fish.

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.

Stabilization Wedges Game
Source Institutions
This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.
