In this simulation activity, learners act as parts of the circulatory system and discover how it serves as a transport system for food/nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste.

In this activity, learners explore the gait of horses by constructing flipbooks with British photographer Eadweard Muybridge's famous photographs.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

In this activity, learners participate in fun movement activities while playing on a giant game board. Use this activity to get learners involved in physical activity.

In this activity, learners discover that our hands are not reliable thermometers.

In this activity, learners discover how artists start with a skeleton and turn it into a realistic drawing of a dinosaur.

In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

Most people break at least two bones in their lifetime. In this activity, learners will use celery stalks to model the many ways that bones can fracture.

In this activity, learners construct a cereal chain as a model of how proteins are made in the cell.

Although we may not admit it, all humans fart or pass some gas. In this activity, learners make their own model to mimic food passing through intestines and discover what releases gas.

In this activity, learners simulate whale echolocation. Learners experience echolocation by wearing blindfolds, while another learner makes snapping noises in front of, behind, or to the side of them.

This is a hands-on activity exploring how nanoscale particles are used in mineral sunblocks to increase their transparency.

In this activity, learners burn a peanut, which produces a flame that can be used to boil away water and count the calories contained in the peanut.

In this activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

This activity is a fun way to show two stages in a Monarch butterfly's life cycle. Learners will create an optical illusion that can be flipped from caterpillar to butterfly.

In this activity about light and perception, learners create and observe moire patterns.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can model how vibrating particles, such as in a sound wave, bump into other particles causing them to vibrate, and that the vib

In this activity (26th on the page), learners construct an easy-to-build device and test motor learning.
