Moldy Jell-O
Source Institutions
In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.
Composting: A Scientific Investigation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a scientific investigation involving decomposition and discover that the life cycle of trash is affected by its organic or inorganic nature.

Make a DNA Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

Styrofoam Traps
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use Styrofoam to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) with Powdery Mildew Fungi
Source Institutions
This exercise can be used to stimulate the investigative nature of learners as they use forensic plant pathology techniques to prove the learners' innocence in a mock murder investigation.

Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.
Transparent Gelatin
Source Institutions
In this optics activity, learners explore how they can make gelatin stop light, but not stop them from seeing fruit suspended within.

Three Circles of Pigments
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners overlap the three primary colors to see how all other colors are made.
