In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can be extracted from a chunk of thymus (sweetbread) or liver.

In this activity, learners will discover what it takes to be a frog. By dressing up like one, learners can visualize how each part of the frog plays an important role in surviving its habitat.

In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.

In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this outdoor, ocean-side activity, learners investigate the distribution of organisms in the upper region of the intertidal zone.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

In this outdoor, night-time activity, learners discover how to spot eye-shine (reflection of light from an animal's eyes) by using a flashlight to play a simulation game.

In this activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

In this activity (page 37 of the PDF), learners observe, on a prepared slide, muscle and spinal cord cells from a rat.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi

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 outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this simulation game, learners play as predators equipped with genetically different “mouths” (utensils) and hunt for “prey” (assorted beans).

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.
