In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will determine whether they are "tasters" or "non-tasters", test selected individuals from their families and peer group for the trait, and chart

In this laboratory activity, learners use a simple procedure to bait oomycetes from water and/ or soil and then examine these fungus-like organisms with the microscope to see how they look.

In this lab (Activity #2 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar. Learners touch the doors, faucets, etc.

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this forensics activity, learners solve a mystery using “DNA” taken from the scene of the crime.

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.

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.

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

After an interest-generating discussion about "dirt" and microbes, learners select and collect soil samples from a variety of locations (schoolyard, home, etc.).

Learners place cut flowers in colored water and observe how the flowers change. The flowers absorb the water through the stem and leaves.

Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

This activity helps the learner answer the question: "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" Learners play a

In this activity, learners will explore vegetative propagation while preparing food scraps to grow into plants.

In this activity, learners build a model of a self-sustaining habitat (growing grass and beans from seeds).

In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.

This activity features two connected hands-on activities about dinosaur bones.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar: one that has been touched by a finger washed only with water and one that has been tou
