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

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 will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.

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 yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

In this activity, learners pretend that they are orcas and search for their "pods" using Morse code.

In this simulation, learners model two elephant seal populations and how they change over time. Learners start with cards representing a variety of seals.

Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

This activity is about collecting and analyzing DNA as part of a criminal investigation.

In this activity, learners play a game that models what happens as stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this forensics activity, learners solve a mystery using “DNA” taken from the scene of the crime.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.

In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

In this activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.
