This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.

This activity is on page 3 (continued on page 2) of the pdf, part of the Simple Machines Discovery Box. In this fun activity, learners "create" a complex machine by simulating the parts in action.

In this kinesthetic activity that demonstrates pressure, learners act as air molecules in a "container" as defined by a rope.

In this activity (on page 2), one person "programs" the other like a robot to move through a space, trying to get them to avoid obstacles and reach a goal.

In this simulation activity, learners act as parts of the circulatory system and discover how it serves as a transport system for food/nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste.

In this outdoor activity, learners play a game of Tag to discover how neurons attach themselves to each other to form a chain.

This activity is a whole-group kinesthetic demonstration that shows learners what it means to be in a "risk group" for developing heart disease based on family history and genetics.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

This kinesthetic science demonstration introduces learners to four states of matter: solid, liquid, gas, and plasma.

Pairs of learners play the roles of programmer and robot. The programmer gives specific directions to the robot to accomplish a simple task (e.g. walk across the room and pick up a pencil).

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.

This activity introduces learners to wolf behavior and communication.
