In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will determine whether they are "tasters" or "non-tasters", test selected individuals from their families and peer group for the trait, and chart

Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.

Learners will compare the growth rate and appearance of crystals forming on small rocks to those growing on miscellaneous objects. Learners will also investigate how temperature (warm vs.
