In this activity, learners identify the reproductive parts of plants and the animal (bee) structures involved in pollination.

In this design and physics challenge, learners construct a cylindrical wing, fly it, make modifications, and determine how the changes affect flight patterns.

In this activity about cartography, learners work in teams to create two different map projections: a planar (or polar) and a cylindrical (or Mercator) projection.

In this very hands-on lesson, learners will investigate dendrochronology (the study of tree rings to answer ecological questions about the recent past) and come up with conclusions as to what possible

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

This activity (on pages 15-23) combines interactive role-playing and graphing to introduce learners to the health affects of pollen.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.

In this activity (on pages 23-29), partners use the Plant Traveler Cards, along with a world map and map worksheets, to follow plants such as cassava, chocolate and coffee that grew first in one part

In this activity, learners control the (apparent) size of a hole with their brain.

In this activity, learners explore the process of condensation.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this activity, learners write a secret message in "invisible ink" and then use chemistry to view the writing.

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

In this activity, learners will explore how metals react with each other. They will see these metals change before their eyes as they coat a paperclip with the copper taken from a penny.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

This activity (on pages 19-25) is about fleas and ticks, which are common pet parasites.

Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.
