In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this activity, learners work in teams to investigate the relationship between mass, acceleration, and force as described in Newton's second law of motion.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

In this activity, learners use pegboard and straws to build a three-dimensional model of the periodic table.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

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

In this activity, learners use bubbles to investigate the structure and unique properties of cell membranes. Bubbles serve as macroscopic models that mimic the cells' phospholipid bilayers.

In this activity and demonstration about electricity and magnetism, learners observe how the current generated when one copper coil swings through a magnetic field starts a second coil swinging.

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

Build your own Mini Mini Golf Course and learn about hands-on building and design, basic circuitry, motion modules and more!

In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.

Based of the The Tech Challenge 2015, learners will engage in two mini-design challenges related to seismic engineering.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

Learners compare the properties of two balls that appear identical. One ball bounces, while the other ball "thuds." The “bounce” ball is made of the polymer polybutadiene (-C4H4-).

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can explore the process used to cast and mold molten metal, glass, and plastics.
