Digestion
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners explore digestion and proteins by observing the action of meat tenderizer on luncheon meat.

Crossing the Synaptic Gap
Source Institutions
In this neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.

DNA From an Onion
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners extract DNA from an onion, using detergent solution, a food processor, and rubbing alcohol. They will also discuss genetic engineering of plants.

Glow Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.

Pathways with Friends
Source Institutions
Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.

Make a DNA Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

Nano Latch-n-Catch
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

Stem Cell Differentiation Game
Source Institutions
This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

Digestive System: A Kinesthetic Lesson
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners act out each digestive function of the organs, tissues, and cells in the digestive tract.

Viral Packaging
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create virus models, including nucleic acid and proteins, using simple materials. This resource includes information about virus structure and gene therapy.

"Build a Bacterium" Scavenger Hunt
Source Institutions
Working in small groups, learners receive a written scenario regarding a bacterium with a certain goal it must carry out.

Draw Your Nervous System
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work together to create a life-sized drawing of the human nervous system.

Molecular Menagerie
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use molecular model kits to construct familiar molecules like lactose, caffeine, and Aspirin.

The Jelly Bean Problem (JBP)
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to eat some candy as a cell would need to as well as to think about some of the problems that arise when a cell ingests food.

Build-A-Membrane
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cut, fold, and paste paper representing biomolecules to create a three-dimensional cell membrane with embedded proteins.

Crazy Camouflage
Source Institutions
In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.
