Does yeast breathe? Find out by watching how plastic bags filled with yeast, warm water and different amounts of sugar change over time.

In this hands-on science experiment, students combine their understanding of the different states of matter and the characteristics of various chemical reactions.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

This activity has learners observe water and compare it to other liquids.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

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 investigate procedural memory.

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

Learners develop awareness and understanding of the daily air quality using the Air Quality Index (AQI) listed in the newspaper or online.

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

In this hands-on experiment, kids use chemistry to explore whether acids or bases are better at restoring a penny’s shine.

This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.

Learners play the role of materials engineers as they test the flexibility of different materials.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

In this indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

In this activity, learners explore the etymology of dinosaur names.

Discover how a refracting telescope works by making one from scratch using common items. This telescope won't have a tube so the learner can see how an image is formed inside the telescope.

This neuroscience activity introduces learners to how messages are sent and received by neurons. Learners use modeling clay and pipe cleaners to build model neurons.

Why does milk make some people sick? In this activity learners explore this question and explore the chemistry of milk, and our bodies!
