Crossing the Synaptic Gap
Source Institutions
In this neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.

Why Circulate?
Source Institutions
In this activity related to the human circulatory system (on page 10 of the PDF), learners observe the dispersion of a drop of food coloring in water, draw conclusions about the movement of dissolved

DNA Detective
Source Institutions
This activity is about collecting and analyzing DNA as part of a criminal investigation.

Cell Division
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to investigate how, in a one-celled organism such as a bacterium, the division of cells increases the number of cell

Pathways with Friends
Source Institutions
Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.

Stem Cell Differentiation Game
Source Institutions
This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

What Cells Can I See in Muscle and Spinal Cord Tissues?
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 37 of the PDF), learners observe, on a prepared slide, muscle and spinal cord cells from a rat.

Yeast DNA Extraction
Source Institutions
This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.

The Ladder of Life
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify the DNA base bars guanine, cytosine, thymine and adenine. Learners create a DNA model using colored paper clips to resemble these base pairs.

Coffee to Carbon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

Dealing Signals
Source Institutions
In this activity, use standard playing cards to introduce learners to cellular interactions such as cell to cell recognition and signal and receptor specificity.

Build-A-Membrane
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cut, fold, and paste paper representing biomolecules to create a three-dimensional cell membrane with embedded proteins.

Tools of Magnification
Source Institutions
In this activity related to microbes, learners use water drops and hand lenses to begin the exploration of magnification. This activity also introduces learners to the microscope.
