In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF), learners will play a game using their observation and listening skills, interpreting clues from each other to deduce their secret animal identity.

This is a guide for facilitating interaction at a touch tank with marine animals. The instructions are for setting up a display in an informal science center, but could work anywhere.

In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can

In this activity, learners create a sound visualizer from common materials to help see the vibrations created by sound. Sounds from a tone generator make salt dance on a vibrating balloon membrane.

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 game, learners cross off or color bingo squares in response to questions about their traits.

In this activity (on pages 15-18 of PDF), learners make a life-size two-dimensional paper model of their own skeletons.

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

Break open that used musical toy and squish some Play-Doh over the circuit boards, and you will hear some weird and distorted sounds the manufacturer never intended!

Many common household cleaners are antimicrobials.

Through this nutrition activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will understand—and probably be surprised by—how big serving sizes of various foods should be.

By playing a card game similar to "Go Fish," but based on the stages of metamorphosis, learners will be able to see how insects change in form as they grow and will consider the advantages of undergoi

Learners gain an intuitive knowledge of the physical aspects of watersheds by creating their own watershed models.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Northwest Coastal region.

In this activity, learners will explore the roles of different animals in the food chain. They will create their own food chain using organisms of their choice.

In this neuroscience activity (5th activity on the page), learners explore their sense of touch without using their senses of vision and hearing.

In this chemistry activity, learners will learn how to make their own pH indicator using cabbage leaves, and then test common household items with their homemade indicator.
