In this activity, learners use multiple thermometers, placed at different angles, and a lamp to investigate why some places on Earth's surface are much hotter than others.

Plants need nutrients to grow. This is why we apply fertilizers to grass and food crops. In this activity, learners will explore how fertilizers can affect lakes and other bodies of water.

Your heart pumps blood throughout your body in one direction, around in a loop. In this activity, learners will make a model of one type of heart chamber called a ventricle.

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

This activity has learners interacting with live crayfish, but could be adapted for a variety of similar hardy and interesting organisms.

In this activity, learners make their own flip book that shows real solar flares erupting from the Sun in November 2000. Step-by-step instructions are included with photos.

Bones are stiff, which helps us lift heavy things and walk around, but they are also somewhat flexible, which lets them bend slightly.

In this activity, learners test to see if carbon dioxide is present in the air we breathe in and out by using a detector made from red cabbage.

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

Doctors often send a sample of blood to a lab, to make sure their patients are healthy.

In this activity, learners add food coloring to hot and cold water in order to see how fluids at different temperatures move around in convection currents.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

Most people will break a bone in their body at some point in their life, but how much force does it take to break one?

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

Most people break at least two bones in their lifetime. In this activity, learners will use celery stalks to model the many ways that bones can fracture.

Although we may not admit it, all humans fart or pass some gas. In this activity, learners make their own model to mimic food passing through intestines and discover what releases gas.

In this activity, learners explore how eating unhealthy food can damage a heart and arteries.

Most of the time, we don't have to think about breathing. In fact, you're probably breathing right now without thinking about it!
