In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.

This activity demonstrates the specificity of viral vectors for target cells in gene therapy delivery methods using two approaches: 1) STYROFOAM® models demonstrate viral ligand binding to receptor pr

In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this activity, learners investigate how inkjet printers produce tiny, precise drops of ink.

Learners observe working lava lamps to understand how they work (included in PDF link).

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.

In this activity, learners make their own bath bomb fizzies and experience what happens when they mix a base and an acid.

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.

Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

Most people will break a bone in their body at some point in their life, but how much force does it take to break one?

In this activity, learners test the pH of safe liquids available at home by creating a pH indicator from mashed blueberries.

In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.

In this activity, learners are challenged to calculate their own weight on various planets using a scale and calculator. Older learners may be challenged to do so without using calculators.

This highly visual model demonstrates the atomic theory of matter which states that a gas is made up of tiny particles of atoms that are in constant motion, smashing into each other.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners experiment with marbles and weights to discover some basics about gravity and black holes.

In this activity, learners use a chemical reaction to visualize where moisture forms on the body.
