In this activity, a lightbulb is placed in front of a concave mirror. The actual lightbulb is not visible to the viewer, but the viewer can see the mirror image of the lightbulb formed in space.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

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

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this multi-faceted game (on pages 25-35), learners recreate what happens to creatures in the Brazilian rain forest as they grow from egg to adult—especially those that use fallen, empty Brazil nut

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 about light and reflection, learners discover that what you see is often affected by what you expect to see.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

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

In this activity (Page 22 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by washing different types of dough with water and comparing the results.

In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit

In this interactive board game, learners "hire" different types of scientists to help canine character Ruff Ruffman solve unusual problems.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.
