In this activity, learners use pop-beads to understand the characteristics and properties of polymer chains.

This quick demonstration (on page 11 of PDF) allows learners to understand why scientists think water ice could remain frozen in always-dark craters at the poles of the Moon.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners build a scale model of the universe with little more than adding machine tape.

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

Learners investigate a pre-constructed mystery tube to determine its interior mechanism.

This hands-on astronomy activity allows you to create a “cutaway” telescope to clearly show how reflector and refractor telescopes work.

This is an educator-led demonstration of microarray technology using a model created from a pizza box and ping-pong balls.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity, learners construct a model of our place in the Milky Way Galaxy and the distribution of stars, with a quarter and some birdseed.

In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

This paper describes a working-model demonstration of Ernest Rutherford's 1911 experiment about the nature of atoms.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

Using recycled materials, learners will design a transportation vehicle to carry an egg in an egg toss (a rudimentary model of a shock absorbent transport vessel).
