In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

The purpose of this lab activity is to demonstrate (through simulation) how DNA fingerprinting (or DNA profiling) might be used to solve a crime.

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

This activity uses LEGO® bricks to represent atoms bonding into molecules and crystals. The lesson plan is for a 2.5 hour workshop (or four 45-minute classes).

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 108: My Ice Pops, learners observe reversible change while thinking about ways to make ice melt.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this activity, learners make an equatorial sundial, which is simple to construct and teaches fundamental astronomical concepts. Learners use the provided template and a straw to build the sundial.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

This lesson is designed to serve as an introduction to the immune system. It can stand alone or it can lead into further studies of the immune system.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners explore how boats are engineered to achieve speed.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into organisms and the health of their ecosystems.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

Learners use engineering design principles to construct and test a fully solar-powered car. Solar car kits usually include a photovoltaic cell and motor; some include a chassis as well.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi
