Learners explore water's property of cohesion through two investigations.

Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.

In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this activity (on page 1 of the PDF), learners make a "mini-globe" to investigate the causes of day and night on our planet.

In this activity, learners examine fingerprints. Learners leave a hidden print on a surface and then make their own print detecting powder from graphite (found in pencils).

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

This activity demonstrates the specificity of viral vectors for target cells in gene therapy delivery methods using two approaches: 1) STYROFOAM® models demonstrate viral ligand binding to receptor pr

In this math lesson, learners use a variety of manipulatives to explore spatial relationships of squares and their transformations.

Learners use shop tools and various materials to construct a magnetic spinner and a compass.

In this engineering challenge, learners design and build a crane out of cardboard to see how heavy a load it can lift.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this activity, learners design a flag for a chosen or assigned planet. The instructions include information about flags on Earth, and a list of flag references.

In this activity, learners collect, analyze, and interpret information about objects in order to classify them into a cladogram. Use this activity to talk about how scientists classify things.

In this activity, learners explore how the hull shape impacts a ship's performance and stability.

Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer (SCNT) is a cloning method that involves transferring a nucleus from a somatic cell of the individual to be cloned to an enucleated egg.

Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

In this arts and crafts activity about animals and animal characteristics, learners will design animal hats and role-play as animals.

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

In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.

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