Source Institutions
Ocean acidification is a problem that humans will have to deal with as we release more and more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

DNA Modeling Activity
Source Institutions
Using pipe cleaners, straws, and beads, learners explore the building blocks of life by creating their own model of DNA.

Soap-Film Interference Model: Get on our wavelength!
Source Institutions
By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

Making Vocal Cords
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners imitate the way vocal cords work by building a model from a plastic cup, rubber band, and a straw.

Tiny Geyser Models
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.
