This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

In this activity, learners create a mind and math puzzle that requires a three-dimensional solution.

This investigation provides learners with a hands-on activity that simulates the changing relationship of surface areas-to-volume for a growing cell.

In this experiment, learners construct an equilateral triangle using graph paper, a pencil, protractor and ruler. They also make a "laser triangle" using a laser pointer and front-silvered mirrors.

In this math lesson, learners analyze the density of liquids in order to explore linear functions.

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

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

In this math-based activity, learners model the intensity of light at various distances from a light source, and understand how astronomers measure the amount of sunlight that hits our planet and othe

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this space science activity, learners explore transits and the conditions when a transit may be seen.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

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, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

In this activity, learners build mini catapults using paint paddles and a spoon. Use this activity to introduce learners to forces and projectile motion.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

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.
