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

In this two-part activity about luminescence, learners explore the chemistry that happens inside glow sticks and other light producing reactions.

In this activity, learners add dilute bleach solution to water that has been dyed with yellow, blue, and green food color.

In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

This lesson gives full instructions for making cabbage juice indicator, a procedure sheet for learners to record observations as they use the indicator to test materials, and extension activities to d

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this activity related to microbes, learners make slides of cells from an onion skin and Elodea (American or Canadian waterweed) to observe under a microscope.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.

In this activity, learners cut wells in JELL-O© and load the wells with different detergent solutions.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

In two separate bags, learners mix water with Epsom salts and detergent.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

In this activity, learners mix ingredients in a plastic bag, and then identify three characteristics of a chemical reaction: production of heat, color change, and production of a gas.

In this activity (on pages 25-31 of PDF), learners soak sponges with different amounts of plaster of paris to simulate different levels of calcification in bone formation.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi
