In this activity, learners make slides of onion cells and their own cheek cells. Use this lab to teach learners how to prepare microscope slides and use a microscope.

In this activity, learners simulate taking HIV antiretroviral drugs by using Tic Tac mints and Kool-Aid packets.

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 (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 data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.

The Ancient Egyptians used a naturally-occurring salt from the banks of the Nile River, called natron, to mummify their dead.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

In this activity that can be used as a lab or demonstration, learners use Lactaid® and lactose to demonstrate the concept of enzyme action.

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

In this activity about olfaction (7th activity on the page), learners use natural ingredients to concoct their own perfume.

In this activity (Page 25 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by creating dough from different flours, observing the samples of dough as they rise, and then baking the dough.

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

In this two-part activity, learners use household items to smell the difference between some stereoisomers, or molecules which are mirror images of one another.

In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.
