This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

This investigation provides learners with a hands-on activity that simulates the changing relationship of surface areas-to-volume for a growing cell.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells. It includes an optional test for the presence of DNA.

This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from lima bean bacteria. This experiment requires the use of a centrifuge (not included in cost of materials).

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can be extracted from a chunk of thymus (sweetbread) or liver.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners explore how we see color.

In this activity, learners receive a labeled plastic film canister containing a material representing a pollutant (i.e. pencil shavings = a beaver's wood chips).

This simulation of laparoscopic surgery enables learners to practice and to learn this modern surgical technique.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from wheat germ using simple materials.

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells using simple materials.

In this investigation, learners gather information on various food items during a field trip to a local grocery store.

This simulation helps learners understand what happens to food as it passes through the digestive system.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.

In this lab, learners experience how dolphins and other echolocating animals use their senses to locate and identify objects without using their sense of sight.

In this activity, learners use bubbles to investigate the structure and unique properties of cell membranes. Bubbles serve as macroscopic models that mimic the cells' phospholipid bilayers.

In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.
