In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.

In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.

In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.

In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.
