In this activity, learners play a simple card game to learn the sequence of events in the transmission of nervous system signals.

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

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

In this activity, learners examine fingerprints. Learners leave a hidden print on a surface and then make their own print detecting powder from graphite (found in pencils).

In this activity, learners make models representing bones on Earth and bones that have been in space. They discover what happens to bones without proper exercise and nutrition.

Learners will build a lung model to understand how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe.

In this activity, learners play a game that models what happens as stem cells differentiate into different cell types.

In this activity, learners use measurement concepts to make models of what their body parts might look like if they were a snake or a chameleon.

In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity (page 59 of the PDF), learners spin and observe false eyelashes in jars of water (prepared at least 1 day ahead of time) to investigate the effects of different types of motion on the

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

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

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

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 activity, learners will perform various investigations to understand the vestibular-ocular reflex and learn about the importance of visual cues in maintaining balance.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.

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