Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

What keeps bubbles and other things, like airplanes, floating or flying in the air?

In this activity, learners construct possible food webs for six different ecosystems as they learn about the roles of different kinds of living organisms.

In this activity, learners construct a cereal chain as a model of how proteins are made in the cell.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores the relative sizes of various objects. Learners compete to organize their hand of cards into lists of objects from largest to smallest.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between cooling water vapor and condensation. Learners investigate condensation forming on the outside of a cold cup.

In this activity, learners write invisible messages on goldenrod paper, and make the message appear and disappear using acids and bases.

In this activity, learners compare the number of letters in the names of the people in their families or group of friends.

In this very hands-on lesson, learners will investigate dendrochronology (the study of tree rings to answer ecological questions about the recent past) and come up with conclusions as to what possible

How do you measure a bubble when it's floating? You can't really, but in this activity, learners can measure the diameter of the ring of suds a bubble leaves on a flat surface.

In this activity, learners make film canister rocket ships. A fin pattern is glued onto the outside of the canister, and fuel (water and half an antacid tablet) is mixed inside the canister.

In this activity, learners play a card game that explores different size scales--macro, micro and nano.

In this lesson, learners cut paper into very small pieces to explore the small size of quarks, the smallest thing we know of on Earth.

In this activity (located on page 2 of PDF), learners sing together a song that gives details about the dinosaur species Suchomimus (pronounced “Sook-o-mime-us”).

In this activity, learners will explore how metals react with each other. They will see these metals change before their eyes as they coat a paperclip with the copper taken from a penny.

In this biology experiment, learners plant soybean seeds in plaster of Paris, witnessing firsthand the mighty power and ability of plants to grow in adverse conditions.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this activity, you'll use a straw, a water bottle and a paper tube to make an instrument that's very much like a saxophone.
