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

In this activity, learners discover how frogs' bodies change while growing from a tadpole to a frog. Learners create a simple craft that gives a visual display of the metamorphosis process.

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.

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

Using pipe cleaners, straws, and beads, learners explore the building blocks of life by creating their own model of DNA.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this activity, learners make their own edible DNA double helix out of candy and find out about the shape of DNA.

Learners use a simple process to extract DNA from strawberries.

In this activity (on pages 34-39), learners make a fairly detailed model of DNA using licorice and gumdrops.

In this activity related to computer programming, learners give directions to a "robot" (either an adult or another learner) and find out which instructions the robot is able to follow, and how their

In this forensics activity, learners solve a mystery using “DNA” taken from the scene of the crime.

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

DNA is the thread of life. Encoded in its genetic sequence is the information that makes each of us unique. This activity allows you to see long, stringy strands of DNA extracted from wheat germ.

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

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

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.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

In this experiment, learners isolate Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) from onion cells using a simple extraction procedure.

In this genetics activity, learners create and decode a “DNA recipe” for a dog by randomly selecting strips of paper that represent DNA.
