In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

In this health activity (located on page 4 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of hand washing by observing mold growing on potatoes.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

This demonstration can be used to help learners visualize DNA by lysing (breaking open) bacterial cells on a slide and “stringing up” the DNA with a toothpick in less than one minute.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

Bones are stiff, which helps us lift heavy things and walk around, but they are also somewhat flexible, which lets them bend slightly.

In this activity, learners explore how different deodorants work. Learners treat agar plates with different types of deodorants and compare the bacteria growth on the plates to the control sample.

In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

In this nutrition/food science activity, learners conduct an experiment and record data to compare the amount of fat in different foods.

Most people will break a bone in their body at some point in their life, but how much force does it take to break one?

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

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this health and genetics activity, learners determine whether tasting the bitter compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) influences which vegetables a person likes.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about nanotechnology making its way into everyday products, such as sunscreen, and how effective these invisible particl

In this activity about the heart (on page 22 of the PDF), learners examine sheep or chicken hearts to learn about the heart's structure and the flow of blood through the heart.

In this activity, learners use a chemical reaction to visualize where moisture forms on the body.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Self-Assembly Activity) about self-assembly, the ability of molecules to assemble themselves according to certain rules.
