In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

Learners observe a model of a cell and its chromosomal DNA made from a plastic egg and dental floss. Use this model to illustrate how much DNA is held in one cell.

In this food science activity, learners explore digestion and proteins by observing the action of meat tenderizer on luncheon meat.

In this neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.

In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

In this activity about the baroreceptor reflex (BR) arc (page 123 of the PDF), learners discover the importance of maintaining adequate arterial blood pressure through a role playing exercise.

In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from wheat germ. Use this activity to introduce learners to DNA, biotechnology and genetic engineering.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and a dig site. Learners work in groups to analyze a dig site map and match bones to a skeletal drawing of Kelsey (a Triceratops).

In this activity, learners create a garden in a disposable glove. They learn about the conditions necessary to make the seeds sprout and actively participate in caring for their plants.

In this activity, learners explore how dinosaurs are named and what their names mean. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this experiment with planaria (a type of flatworm), learners will investigate the capability of different body sections to regenerate.

In this activity, learners create a traditional Mexican noisemaker (a matraca) using cardboard, craft sticks, and a wooden dowel.

In this health activity (located on page 4 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of hand washing by observing mold growing on potatoes.

In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and experiment with different materials to create bug hats.

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

In this activity related to the human circulatory system (on page 10 of the PDF), learners observe the dispersion of a drop of food coloring in water, draw conclusions about the movement of dissolved

In this activity, learners estimate risks associated with different events and compare their estimates to the real possibilities.
