This activity is a whole-group kinesthetic demonstration that shows learners what it means to be in a "risk group" for developing heart disease based on family history and genetics.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

By building a simple watershed with paper and markers and then using a spray bottle to simulate precipitation, learners will understand how pollution accumulates in our water sources, especially from

In this activity, learners use a flashlight, a glass of water, and some milk to examine why the sky is blue and sunsets are red.
