In this kinesthetic activity, learners move pom-pom "ions" across a membrane to simulate how an action potential is propagated along an axon.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this simulation of synapses, learners act out communication at the neural level by behaving as pre-synaptic vesicles, neurotransmitters, post-synaptic receptors, secondary messengers and re-uptake

Learners construct and launch paper helicopters.

In this activity, learners will plan a snack within a budget. With a $20 limit (theoretical) to spend on snack for everyone, learners look over grocery store circulars and make their shopping lists.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

In this health activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will explore a unique connection betweeen the bones of the body.

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

In this activity about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.

In this math lesson, learners arrange pattern blocks to create tessellations and to explore geometric patterns. Learners first explore making patterns with a variety of pattern blocks.

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this activity, learners build simple alarms that they can attach to anything, such as a drawer or doorway. This activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, and currents.

In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

In this activity, learners will reuse plastic bags in an interesting way.

In this activity, learners build an old-fashioned paddle boat out of simple materials.

In this activity about humans and space travel (page 1 of PDF), learners compare and contrast the behavior of a water-filled plastic bag, both outside and inside of a container of water.

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?
