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

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

Solar Structures
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

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

Do Your Own Dig
Source Institutions

How We Know What The Dinosaurs Looked Like: How Fossils Were Formed
Source Institutions
In this activity (p.7-8 of PDF), learners examine fossil formation.
No bones about it!
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

Pollen Tracks
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 30-36), learners simulate a dig for ancient pollen, to experience how paleobotanists study fossilized pollen in rocks to learn about early geological and climatological even

Mars from Above: Viewing Volcanoes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create volcanoes like those they have examined on Earth and Mars through images taken by spacecraft.

Treasures in the Rough
Source Institutions
In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.

Pollution Patrol
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

Moon's Long History: Impact Paintings
Source Institutions
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.

Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

Paleontologists: Can You Dig It?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the work of paleontologists.

Explore Like a Scientist: Fruity Observations
Source Institutions
