In this simulation activity, learners will raise a pack of wolves under ten different conditions: without human interference and with human interference.

This lesson familiarizes learners with the term "tropical belt." First, learners locate the equator, Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn on a map and trace these lines with a crayon.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of friction and how ball bearings reduce friction.

In this activity, learners explore the "nuts and bolts" of gene chips.

In this math lesson, learners use simple addition facts to compute values (in dollars and cents) for their names.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

In this activity (page 18 of PDF), learners will measure the volume of impact craters created by projectiles of different masses.

Learners draw and cut out shapes of organs from construction paper. Then they attach these organs to the body of one learner to make a life-sized map of all the internal organs.

In this computer science activity about finite-state automaton (on page 45 of the PDF), learners use a map and choose various pathways to find Treasure Island.

In this physical sciences activity, learners use science to solve a "crime." Learners collect trace evidence (glitter) and explore its characteristics, such as color, size, shape, and light reflection

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

In this activity (page 10), learners explore how molecules self-assemble according to forces of attraction and repulsion.

In this hands-on and feet-on excursion, learners take a science walk to visualize the planet's immense size and numerous structures, without the usual scale and ratio dimensions found in most textbook

In this technology activity, learners explore digital imaging and pixels. Learners "transmit" an image to a partner by creating an image on grid paper.

In this classic memory game (on pages 37-45 of PDF), learners turn over tiles to reveal images on the back.

Make your own "Dance Dance Revolution" dance pad! In this design challenge activity, learners work in teams to build a dance pad that lets you use your feet to sound a buzzer or flash a light.

In this activity, learners follow step-by-step instructions to build a gel electrophoresis chamber using inexpensive materials from local hardware and electronic stores.

Learners classify a variety of objects by their characteristics. They then design an experiment to determine which objects float or sink in water and add this characteristic to their classification.

In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.

In this activity, learners make or use pre-made clay beams to scale and proportion. Specifically, they discover that when you scale up proportionally (i.e.
