In this detailed activity (on pages 9-18), learners investigate the body parts of a parasitic ascaris worm by making and dissecting clay models.

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

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners plan and create a 24-foot long, two-dimensional model of our solar system, and compare and contrast the differences between planets and the sun.

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

In this engineering/design/arts and crafts activity, learners design and build "platforms" or "bridges" that can hold weight, and test which glue makes the strongest structure.

By building a model of a lung and diaphragm, learners discover the function of various parts of the body's respiratory system.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

Learners will build a homemade pump using a balloon, a mason jar, and some straws.

In this activity, learners create a large film of soap and experiment with what can and cannot pass through it.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

In this online game, learners run an outer space drink stand and thirsty alien customers are on the way.

Learners model the Sun-Earth-Moon system to show what causes the Moon's appearance to change when viewed from the Earth.
