In this geology activity, learners create a model using a mixture of salt and sand inside a CD case. When the case is tilted or inverted, the mixture dramatically sorts into a layered pattern.

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

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

In this activity, learners explore the economics of coal mining as you they use fake money to purchase mining tools, attempt to carefully mine their cookies, sell their chocolate chip ore, and try to

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In order to examine the random nature of mutations and natural selection, learners "breed" clutches of Egyptian Origami Birds (Avis papyrus) using random number generators (dice and coins) to mutate s

This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.

In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

In this activity, learners are challenged to track and record the passage of colored pom poms (representing genes) through generations of a family using a pedigree.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this (edible) activity, learners balance chemical equations using different kinds and colors of candy that represent different atoms. Learners will work in pairs and explore conservation of atoms.

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

In this outdoor activity, learners use pegs (like tent pegs) and string or elastic to simulate drill sites and roads in Northern Canada.

In this activity, learners will use cereal to conduct an experiment and investigate how decreased bone density is related to increased risk of bone fracture.

In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.
