Professor John Endler traveled to Trinidad in the 1970s to study wild guppies. In this activity, learners take part in an online simulation of Endler's work.

In this fun, hands-on autumn activity, learners experiment to discover whether the colored substances in leaves can be separated from the leaves.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.

In this lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.

In this activity, learners use whale count data from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary to compare whale counts in relation to environmental factors.

In this laboratory activity, learners use a simple procedure to bait oomycetes from water and/ or soil and then examine these fungus-like organisms with the microscope to see how they look.

Learners use beach profile data from a local beach or online data from Ocean City, Maryland to investigate coastal erosion and sediment transport.

In this group activity, learners see and hear the speed of sound. A learner designated the "gonger" hits a gong, once every second, as the rest of the group watches and listens from a distance.

In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.

In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.

In this activity, learners explore the invisible infrared radiation from an electric heater.

Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

In this data activity, learners will compare and contrast fish communities, diversity and habitats in U.S. National Marine Sanctuaries.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this optics activity, learners explore how light bends and affects what we see.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.
