Wheat Evolution: Sedimentation Testing
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 30 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by conducting sedimentation tests on different flours.

Engineer an Octopus Suction Pad
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

Evolution in Plane Sight
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

Wheat Evolution: Dough Washing
Source Institutions
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.

Wheat Evolution: Dough Rising and Baking
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 25 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by creating dough from different flours, observing the samples of dough as they rise, and then baking the dough.

Not Just A Bag Of Beans
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

Phylogenetics
Source Institutions
This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.
