Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

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

This activity helps the learner answer the question: "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" Learners play a

In this investigation, learners gather information on various food items during a field trip to a local grocery store.

In this activity, learners are divided into teams.

This "concept demonstration" provides learners with a concrete example (a pair of shoes in a classroom "cell") of what homology means.

This activity provides an opportunity for learners to observe and examine how carbon dioxide, water, and light produce glucose/starch through a process called photosynthesis.

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

This simulation helps learners understand what happens to food as it passes through the digestive system.

In this activity, learners are challenged to eat some candy as a cell would need to as well as to think about some of the problems that arise when a cell ingests food.

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

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

In this activity, learners use bubbles to investigate the structure and unique properties of cell membranes. Bubbles serve as macroscopic models that mimic the cells' phospholipid bilayers.

In this exercise (Activity #2 on page), learners test their distance vision to evaluate their overall eyesight.

In a series of three experiments, learners explore the basics of biotechnology using self-locking plastic baggies. Each experiment demonstrates a phenomenon or principle of biotechnology.

In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar: one that has been touched by a finger washed only with water and one that has been tou
