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

This lesson introduces learners to the world of nematodes (roundworms).

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

After an interest-generating discussion about "dirt" and microbes, learners select and collect soil samples from a variety of locations (schoolyard, home, etc.).

In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners follow simple steps to recycle old newspaper into new paper.

In this construction activity, students use a 2-liter bottle to build a fly trap.

In this botany activity, learners will create an experiment about seed germination. This activity gives students an opportunity to explore how seeds germinate and react to surrounding conditions.

In this forensics activity, learners solve a mystery using “DNA” taken from the scene of the crime.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this activity, learners build a model of a self-sustaining habitat (growing grass and beans from seeds).

In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop.

In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

In this math activity, learners collect, organize, and analyze a set of data related to types of animals in the temperate forest.

In this activity, learners use Styrofoam to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.

In this outdoor/indoor activity, learners collect ants and dirt to create an ant farm in a cup that they can observe over time.
