In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

This design challenge is an open-ended exploration of linkages, a group of parts connected by hinges, and the types of motion they can create.

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

Dig a hole, line it, fill it with fresh water, and you have a water hole: a good place to study colonization.

In this activity, learners smell bottles containing bee pheromone molecules (or herb/spice extracts as a substitute). Bees release these molecules to send messages to each other.

In this game, learners create flash cards with an image on one side (of an animal, for example) and the sound that animal makes on the other.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a cloning method that involves transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the individual to be cloned to an enucleated egg.

In this experiment with planaria (a type of flatworm), learners will investigate the capability of different body sections to regenerate.

As a long-term project, you can rear monarch butterflies at home or in a classroom.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

This is an activity where learners will compare the different metamorphosis stages of amphibians.

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.

Using zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), elodea and an indicator dye, learners study the role of light in photosynthesis.

The objective of this inquiry-based lesson is for learners to gain an understanding of how increasing ocean acidity can affect the calcification of marine organisms.

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 math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

This lesson introduces learners to the world of nematodes (roundworms).
