Gummy Shapes
Source Institutions
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.

Disease Detectives
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine antibodies and antibody recognition using a model.

Patterns in Pixels
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2) draws upon a familiar, computer-based concept related to visual resolution: pixilation.

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

Simulation of Laparoscopic Surgery Lab
Source Institutions
This simulation of laparoscopic surgery enables learners to practice and to learn this modern surgical technique.

Self-Assembling Dessert Toppings
Source Institutions
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.

Seeing Is Believing
Source Institutions
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'

Fruity-Glows: Pictures of Health on a Microarray Canvas
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
