This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

In this activity (p.25 of PDF), learners investigate spores. Mushrooms produce millions of spores which are equivalent to the seeds of plants but without the massive food reserves.

This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.

In this activity, learners investigate variations in human traits. This allows learners' natural curiosity about their identity to draw them into the study of heredity.

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

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

In this activity, pairs of learners will create two make-believe dig sites by burying chicken bones in plaster of Paris--a powder that hardens when wet.

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 activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Colorblind Dogs) is a full inquiry investigation into dogs' ability (or inability) to see color.

In this health, cooking, and math activity, learners explore nutrition and examine nutrition labels.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Gecko Feet Activity) about modeling a nanoscale phenomenon (gravity-defying gecko feet) with macroscale objects (shoes).

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

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

Audio Boggle is an activity that lets you listen to a track (that you make yourself) and see what you can hear!

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

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