In this activity, learners build a carousel toy that spins when pushed down.

In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from wheat germ. Use this activity to introduce learners to DNA, biotechnology and genetic engineering.

Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

In this activity, learners make slides of onion cells and their own cheek cells. Use this lab to teach learners how to prepare microscope slides and use a microscope.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between electric charges and magnetic fields.

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length. Learners first read "How Big is a Foot" by Rolf Myller and learn about units.

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.

In this math lesson, learners compare products to determine the best product.

In this environmental science activity about biodiversity, learners play a game to discover the effects of non-native species on an ecosystem.

In this activity, learners can create five-layer density columns by employing one of three (or all) methods.

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.

Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

In this physical sciences activity, learners explore insulation. Leaners investigate how insulation can be used to slow down the conduction of heat from one side of a wall to the other.

This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan

This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.
