Right Hand/Left Hand
Source Institutions
In this activity (1st on the page), learners conduct a series of tests to find out which of their hands is more dominant. In other words, are they right-handed or left-handed?
The Blindfolded Walk
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to study the observation skills essential to scientific research.
Jumpin' the Gap
Source Institutions
In this simulation of synapses, learners act out communication at the neural level by behaving as pre-synaptic vesicles, neurotransmitters, post-synaptic receptors, secondary messengers and re-uptake
Heart and Lungs
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.
Pathways with Friends
Source Institutions
Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.
Pulse of Life: Measure Your Pulse
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take their own pulse and explore how heart rate is affected by various activities.
Wolf Limiting Factors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.
Wolf Survival
Source Institutions
In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.
Splitting White Light
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners split white light into all its component colors using three household items: a compact disc, dishwashing liquid, and a hose (outside).
Tree Trunk Diameter to Branch Height Relationship
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.
Reaction Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore reaction time and challenge themselves to improve their coordination. Do you want to move faster? Catch that ball that you never seem to see in time?
Risk Continuum
Source Institutions
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.
Circulatory System Skit: Act out the Flow of Blood
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act out the flow of blood in the human body! A great way to get learners up and moving while learning about the circulatory system.
