In this archaeology activity, learners consider ways in which excavating an underwater site is different from excavating a terrestrial site.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from wheat germ. Use this activity to introduce learners to DNA, biotechnology and genetic engineering.

In this chemistry demonstration, learners will discover that phenolphthalein is a chemical that displays different colors depending on the acidity or basicity of the environment.

In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this experiment with planaria (a type of flatworm), learners will investigate the capability of different body sections to regenerate.

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

Learners conduct an experiment to determine the rate at which two materials, sand and water, heat up and cool down.

In this activity about soil (page 7 of the PDF), learners will use their sense of touch as well as sight to understand how soil is classified based on texture and other details.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate spider webs and feeding behavior, particularly how spiders trap food in their sticky silk webs while not getting stuck themselves.

In this activity, learners discover the difficulty of ocean exploration by human beings as they investigate water pressure.

In this hands-on activity, learners will construct a scuba diver that can float in order to explore how sea creatures stay neutrally buoyant in the ocean and to see what kinds of forces might be influ

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into organisms and the health of their ecosystems.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this physics activity, learners build a toy with a figure that spins around like a gymnast on the high bar.

In this activity, learners build a stuffed-animal zip line. Learners hold a cord against a wall, hook a cute stuffed animal onto it, let the animal slide down, and records its travel time.

In this water activity, learners test which objects float and which sink. Learners discover that objects behave differently in water.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells using simple materials.

In this activity related to Newton's Laws of Motion, learners build a boat powered by a propeller in the air.

In this water activity, learners explore how water drops behave on different surfaces.

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.
