In this activity, learners simulate taking HIV antiretroviral drugs by using Tic Tac mints and Kool-Aid packets.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

This exercise is designed to teach young learners the different parts of a plant (root, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds), the basic functions of each part, and to show that tiny microscopic o

This demonstration can be used to help learners visualize DNA by lysing (breaking open) bacterial cells on a slide and “stringing up” the DNA with a toothpick in less than one minute.

In this online simulation, learners use antibiotics to cure patients with bacterial infections.

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.

In this activity, learners examine antibodies and antibody recognition using a model.

In this activity, learners explore surgical instrument design. Teams of learners construct surgical instruments from everyday materials.

This simulation of laparoscopic surgery enables learners to practice and to learn this modern surgical technique.

Make a copy of the first stethoscope with only a cardboard tube! René Laennec invented the first stethoscope in 1819 using an actual paper tube!

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Self-Assembly Activity) about self-assembly, the ability of molecules to assemble themselves according to certain rules.

In this activity, learners act as epidemiologists by mapping the prevalence of HIV/AIDS worldwide.

In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

In this activity, learners make self-assembled polymer spheres.

This activity is designed to accompany the PBS documentary about African-American chemist "Percy Julian: Forgotten Genius." Learners look through two cups with small holes in them to simulate what it'

In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
