In this activity, learners make a model of a one-way heart valve to investigate how a heart controls the direction of blood flow.

In this activity, learners make their own rock candy. Crystals will grow from a piece of string hanging in a cup of sugar water. The edible crystals may take up to a week to form.

In this activity, learners will discover how to find the "sweet spots" on a baseball bat. Whenever an object is struck, it vibrates in response.

In this activity, learners manipulate paper to build original 3-dimensional sculptures. Appropriate for any age, learners can use fingers to tear, crumple, or fold, and if available, scissors to cut.

In this activity, learners experiment with surface tension using everyday household items such as strawberry baskets, paperclips, liquid dish soap, and pepper.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

In this activity, learners will create their own simple shadow puppets, and experiment with light and shadow while playing with them.

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

Use geometry, a ruler, and a steady hand to create these amazing unfurling paper folds!

In this activity about osmosis, learners use a naked egg (one with a dissolved eggshell) to learn about selectively permeable membranes.

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

In this tabletop board game, players will represent a team of scientists and engineers sending a spacecraft on a mission to space.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of liquids and gas by playing with both! Learners of any age use their own breath to move drops of water across a smooth wax paper surface.

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

In this activity, learners analyze a fictionalized report of life on Mars, based on a real NASA satellite photo, and explore how to separate scientific fact from fiction.

During this lesson, learners will determine their blood pressure and learn about systolic and diastolic pressures.

In this activity about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.

Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.

Extract your DNA from your very own cells! First, learners swish salt water in their mouth to collect cheek cells and spit the water into a glass.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.
