To Taste or Not to Taste
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will determine whether they are "tasters" or "non-tasters", test selected individuals from their families and peer group for the trait, and chart

String Genome
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners use yarn and sticky labels to build a model of a DNA strand. They discover that DNA is very long, very skinny, and packs well into cells.

Rollback
Source Institutions
In this physics activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will make a can that will roll back after it has been rolled away to observe the interactions of kinetic and potential energy.

Fingerprint Identification
Source Institutions
In this crime science activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners will explore the uniqueness of fingerprints. The will learn components of fingerprints as well as why fingerprints are left behind.

An Apple as Planet Earth
Source Institutions
In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

Oh Boy Buoyancy
Source Institutions
In this physics activity, learners will explore the concept of buoyancy, especially as it relates to density.

Spaghetti Bridge
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners investigate the differences between the strength of bridges made from flat and round building materials.

Cover Your Mouth
Source Institutions
In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.

Big Wave
Source Institutions
This is an activity about waves. Using marbles, paper clips and rubber bands, learners explore how waves behave.

A Swell Activity with Beans
Source Institutions
In this combination chemistry and physics activity, learners explore water absorption in dried beans or peas and learn how this affects their physical properties.

Tumble Wing Walkalong Glider
