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

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

This activity uses Jell-O(R) to introduce learners to microfluidics, the flow of fluids through microscopic channels.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that replicates the dilemma faced by birds in acquiring food from a confined area.

Role-playing the parts of chromosomes and centrioles, learners use large chromosome models and nylon cords (spindle fibers and cell membranes) to walk through the processes of mitosis and meiosis.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.

In this activity, pairs of learners model how scientists use craters to determine the ages of lunar surfaces. One partner keeps time while the other creates a painting for the other to interpret.

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

In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

In this activity, learners build and test a compass. Learners work in pairs and pretend they are stuck in the wilderness at night.

This lesson will helps learners answer the question: How does the bombardment of micrometeoroids make regolith on the moon?

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.

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, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.
