This activity demonstrates the specificity of viral vectors for target cells in gene therapy delivery methods using two approaches: 1) STYROFOAM® models demonstrate viral ligand binding to receptor pr

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

Learners use several types of insect sampling and collection equipment to make an insect collection. Learners can collect insects from their schoolyard or yard at home.

In this activity, learners explore the history, design and motion of spinning tops. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own tops out of everyday items.

In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners explore how a hydraulic pump works. Learners work in teams to design and build a unique water fountain that employs a hydraulic pump.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers develop pipeline systems to transport oil, water, gas, and other materials over very long distances.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

In this series of exercises, learners predict the conditions necessary for bacterial growth, test their predictions and at the same time practice the aseptic techniques and safety procedures needed wh

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi

In this activity, learners work in teams build and launch rubberband-powered foam rockets.

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.
