Digestion
Source Institutions
In this food science activity, learners explore digestion and proteins by observing the action of meat tenderizer on luncheon meat.

Crossing the Synaptic Gap
Source Institutions
In this neuroscience activity, learners conduct a simulation to demonstrate how multiple incoming signals influence the action of neurons.

Fossilized Dinosaur Teeth Adaptations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

Identifying Erosion
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

Is That DNA in My Food?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners extract DNA from wheat germ. Use this activity to introduce learners to DNA, biotechnology and genetic engineering.

Classification Line-up
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to organize an interactive model for learning the classification system (taxonomy) of living things.

Kelsey: Clues of the Dig Site Map
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and a dig site. Learners work in groups to analyze a dig site map and match bones to a skeletal drawing of Kelsey (a Triceratops).

Glove Gardens
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a garden in a disposable glove. They learn about the conditions necessary to make the seeds sprout and actively participate in caring for their plants.

Our Sense of Sight: Color Vision
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

Planaria Regeneration
Source Institutions
In this experiment with planaria (a type of flatworm), learners will investigate the capability of different body sections to regenerate.

Growing Cooties
Source Institutions
In this health activity (located on page 4 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of hand washing by observing mold growing on potatoes.

Flocking for Food
Source Institutions
In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

Why Circulate?
Source Institutions
In this activity related to the human circulatory system (on page 10 of the PDF), learners observe the dispersion of a drop of food coloring in water, draw conclusions about the movement of dissolved

Drugs, Risks and the Nervous System
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners estimate risks associated with different events and compare their estimates to the real possibilities.

Exercise and Memory
Source Institutions
This activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Exercise and Memory) is a full inquiry investigation into the effects of exercise on short term memory.

Pinhole Viewer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

Do Your Own Dig
Source Institutions
In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

Extreme Sounds
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Extreme Sounds) is a full inquiry investigation into sound.

Earth's Energy Cycle: Albedo
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

Film Canister Farming
Source Institutions
In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.
