This activity demonstrates the specificity of viral vectors for target cells in gene therapy delivery methods using two approaches: 1) STYROFOAM® models demonstrate viral ligand binding to receptor pr

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

Most people will break a bone in their body at some point in their life, but how much force does it take to break one?

In this activity about electricity, learners build and test a paper clip switch to turn on a light bulb.

This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.

In this activity learners will investigate magnetic and non-magnetic items in a sensory bottle.

In this chemistry challenge, learners systematically investigate which combination of four solutions produces a deep red color.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners build a Wilberforce Pendulum, a special coupled pendulum in which energy is transferred between two modes of vibration, longitudinal ("bounce') and torsional ("twist"), on a

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners help create and then navigate an outdoor course of the traditional "planets" (including dwarf planet Pluto), which are represented by small common objects.

In this activity, learners explore the work of paleontologists.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?
