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

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of

This activity (on pages 13-18) has learners build a model tree and then figure out how to make their tree stand up by itself.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.
