This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

Role-playing the parts of chromosomes and centrioles, learners use large chromosome models and nylon cords (spindle fibers and cell membranes) to walk through the processes of mitosis and meiosis.

This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

Using zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), elodea and an indicator dye, learners study the role of light in photosynthesis.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.

This simulation of laparoscopic surgery enables learners to practice and to learn this modern surgical technique.

This simulation helps learners understand what happens to food as it passes through the digestive system.

In this activity, learners use bubbles to investigate the structure and unique properties of cell membranes. Bubbles serve as macroscopic models that mimic the cells' phospholipid bilayers.
