In this activity, learners make "totally tubular" forms of carbon. Learners use chicken wire to build macro models of carbon nanotubes.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners extract DNA from fruit to investigate how it looks and feels.

This activity demonstrates the specificity of viral vectors for target cells in gene therapy delivery methods using two approaches: 1) STYROFOAM® models demonstrate viral ligand binding to receptor pr

In this activity, learners experiment with creating various types of bubble solutions and testing which ingredients form longer-lasting bubbles.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners investigate ingredients that combine to produce gas bubbles.

In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

In this electrochemistry activity, learners will explore two examples of electroplating.

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 is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area and reactivity.

In this activity, learners experiment with different variables in making hollandaise sauce to achieve the correct texture and consistency.

In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

In this activity, learners explore sublimation by conducting experiments with dry ice.

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

In this chemistry challenge, learners discover that many chemical reactions involve heat loss or gain.

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.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF, learners discover how color changes can help scientists distinguish between acids and bases.

In this activity on page 2 of the PDF (Get Cooking With Chemistry), learners conduct chemical tests on certain powders used in cooking.

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners discover how science and Halloween are fun companions as they make paper bleed.

The purpose of this plant biotechnology activity is to demonstrate the effect of changes in the environment on the growth and fertility of landscape grasses and crop grasses such as wheat and rice.

This lab activity is about toxic substances like pesticides and their effects on biological systems. The activity starts with an introduction of how birds sequester calcium to make an egg.
