Optical Morpher
Source Institutions
In this amazing activity about light and reflection, learners will use a pie plate and reflective strips from a mylar balloon to try to morph their face into a friend's.

Clipbirds
Source Institutions
In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.

A Tree of Genetic Traits
Source Institutions
Learners mark their traits for tongue rolling, PTC tasting (a harmless, bitter chemical), and earlobe attachment on tree leaf cut-outs.

Design a Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

Food to Fuel
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the foods that are in their kitchen and what sugars are inside of them. Explore nutrition and food labels to better understand the foods you eat.

Animal Tape Rescue
Source Institutions
In this activity learners will "rescue" animals from tape and then sort the animals. Learners will use science process skills such as categorizing and making observations while they play.

Buried Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity, pairs of learners will create two make-believe dig sites by burying chicken bones in plaster of Paris--a powder that hardens when wet.

Sensational Seaweed
Source Institutions
In this culinary activity, learners use multiple senses (sight, smell, touch, and taste!) to explore real seaweed samples.

School of Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make fish cutouts that propel through the water with the help of surface tension.

Tree Tally
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

Periscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to look over ledges or around corners.

Plant Piping
Source Institutions
Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.

Wild or Domestic Animal Game
Source Institutions
In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF), learners will play a game using their observation and listening skills, interpreting clues from each other to deduce their secret animal identity.

Going Green
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

Population Game
Source Institutions
In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can

Good Vibrations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a sound visualizer from common materials to help see the vibrations created by sound. Sounds from a tone generator make salt dance on a vibrating balloon membrane.

Chicken Wing Exploration
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore cooked chicken wings and identify the various parts including: bones (radius, ulna, humerus, shoulder joint, elbow joint), tendons, and cartilage.

Sticky Snot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create slime to model mucus and examine how it collects simulated particles. Mucus keeps particles from the environment out of our lungs when we breathe.

Candy Chemosynthesis
Source Institutions
In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

Tie Dye Painting
Source Institutions
This is an activity exploring color and color mixing.
