In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

Learners compare the properties and solubilities of Styrofoam (TM), ecofoam packing peanuts, and popcorn. First, the solubility of each substance is tested in water.

In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.

This lesson is designed to serve as an introduction to the immune system. It can stand alone or it can lead into further studies of the immune system.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this activity (4th activity on the page), learners test to see if saliva is necessary for food to have taste.

In this activity about light and perception, learners discover how a flash of light can create a lingering image called an "afterimage" on the retina of the eye.

Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!

In this activity, learners set up an experiment to investigate the effects of hot air on the path of a laser beam.

In this activity about vision and optical illusions, learners conduct a simple test to demonstrate how our eyes create "afterimages." Learners stare at a black cardboard bat for at least 30 seconds an

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

Look at pictures through different color filters and you'll see them in a new way. People have used color filters in beautiful photography or sending secret messages.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the value of supernovae in the universe.

In this outdoor, night-time activity, learners discover how to spot eye-shine (reflection of light from an animal's eyes) by using a flashlight to play a simulation game.

When you teeth clatter, they make quite the racket disproportionately to how much they actually sound to someone else.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

This science activity demonstrates the dominant eye phenomena. What does your brain do when it sees two images that conflict?

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.
