Discover how sound travels and what materials make better sound conductors. Can you hear better with your fingers in your ears? Find out with a coat hanger and some string!

In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

This activity attempts to clear up the common misconception that deserts are always hot, totally dry, and uninhabitable.

This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

Use echolocation to find others and experience how whales’ senses have adapted to suit their environment. In pairs, learners are blindfolded and use containers filled with marbles to find each other.

In this activity, learners will explore the foods that are in their kitchen and what sugars are inside of them. Explore nutrition and food labels to better understand the foods you eat.

In this activity, learners conduct a scientific investigation involving decomposition and discover that the life cycle of trash is affected by its organic or inorganic nature.

In this activity, learners will explore how different bird beaks work and discover what birds can eat based on their beak shape.

In this outdoor game, learners play the roles of gray or red squirrels gathering and storing a supply of food in "fall" and recovering enough of them to survive the "winter." Learners carry bags repre

Do you have a hard time matching paint swatches with your furniture? When you consider human perception, color is context dependent.

In this classic memory game (on pages 37-45 of PDF), learners turn over tiles to reveal images on the back.

We're told from a young age that we have 5 senses, but we have many more. One of which is our awareness of our own body part's orientation and position.

In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use their sense of touch to identify matching pairs of objects hidden in bags. Learners can also play this game with partners.

In this amazing activity about light and reflection, learners will use a pie plate and reflective strips from a mylar balloon to try to morph their face into a friend's.

In this chemistry activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will see that chewing is more than just the crushing up of food; there is actually a chemical change going on at the same time.

Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

By playing a card game similar to "Go Fish," but based on the stages of metamorphosis, learners will be able to see how insects change in form as they grow and will consider the advantages of undergoi

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of forces - kinetic energy and friction while making a moving toy woodpecker.
