In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

The purpose of this lab activity is to demonstrate (through simulation) how DNA fingerprinting (or DNA profiling) might be used to solve a crime.

In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

The major goal of this math lesson is to have learners collect data from a variety of experiments, determine what models best fits their data, and explain why their models are best.

In this activity/demo about piezoelectricity, learners discover how some crystals produce electricity when squeezed.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

This activity uses LEGO® bricks to represent atoms bonding into molecules and crystals. The lesson plan is for a 2.5 hour workshop (or four 45-minute classes).

In this activity, learners conduct tests for proteins, glucose, and starch.

In this activity, learners investigate the Moon's infancy and model how an ocean of molten rock (magma) helped shape the Moon that we see today.

This is a series of demonstrations about different electrical and magnetic phenomena.

In this activity, learners examine antibodies and antibody recognition using a model.

In this activity, learners explore accuracy and precision.

In this activity, learners design a therapeutic agent to image and/or cure various diseases in the respiratory system.

In this two-part activity, learners work in pairs to examine the four basic stages of a turbine engine.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

By tossing, collecting, and sorting beanbags, learners understand how the IBEX spacecraft uses its sensors to detect and map the locations of particle types in the interstellar boundary.

In this activity, learners build models of comets, using edible materials, to learn about comets' structure.

In this activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.
