In this activity (12th on the page), learners investigate their ability to discriminate (see) different colors.
Butterfly Life Cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the insect life cycle by making a model.
Soap-Film Interference Model: Get on our wavelength!
Source Institutions
By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.
Salt, Soil and Seeds
Source Institutions
Discover how the salt in soil affects plant growth with a few seeds, some cotton, and salt. In this hands-on activity, you will plant seeds in 2 different kinds of soil, containing more or less salt.

Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a camouflaged butterfly to hide outside for others to find.
Toad Toy
Source Institutions
In this activity, the learner will explore hand eye coordination while using a variation of the ball and cup game.
Discovering Rainforest Locations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.
Build a Bug
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners use art supplies to build models of insects, both real or imagined.
Amphibian Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.
Mini Zoetrope
Source Institutions
In this activity (posted on March 27, 2011), learners follow the steps to construct a mini zoetrope, a device that produces an illusion of action from a rapid succession of static pictures.
Build a Bell Bracelet
Source Institutions
Learners make bell bracelets, place them on their wrists or ankles, and then dance to the rhythms and sounds the bells make. Many cultures use ankle or wrist bells to make music during dancing.
Butterfly Symmetry Painting
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF) has learners create models of butterfly wings.
Supersize That Dinosaur
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.
Trash Traits
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.
Wheel of Fitness
Source Institutions
In this fun activity for any size group, early elementary learners complete physical challenges while playing a game. Learners add new challenges to the "wheel of fitness" that they want to try.
Make Your Own Butterfly
Source Institutions
In this activity (on the left side of page 5, continued on the right side of page 4 of the PDF), learners make models of colorful butterflies.
Making Vocal Cords
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners imitate the way vocal cords work by building a model from a plastic cup, rubber band, and a straw.
Extreme Lifestyles
Source Institutions
In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.
Under Pressure: Your Blood Pressure
Source Institutions
During this lesson, learners will determine their blood pressure and learn about systolic and diastolic pressures.
Target Recognition and Synapse Formation During Development
Source Institutions
In this activity about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.
