In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.

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

In this lab, learners grow broad bean (also called fava bean) plants in three EarthBoxes for a few weeks before exposing one to wind (using a fan), another to heat (using a lamp), and the third to not

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.

In this activity, learners determine the necessary conditions for pea seed germination.

In this activity (located on pages 9-14 of PDF), learners visit a cemetery to examine the distinguishing characteristics of rock weathering.

In this kitchen chemistry activity, learners explore the chemistry of crystals by making sugar crystals, consider a common chemical reaction type responsible for the rising of muffins and cake in the

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners plant seeds and watch them sprout and grow inside a CD case.

In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

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

In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 25 of the PDF), learners will investigate how changing the time they go to bed impacts their own sleep patterns.

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 environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.

In this activity, learners investigate the movement caused by dispersion. Learners discover that dispersion is the random movement of objects.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.
