This activity is designed to introduce learners to genes, genotypes and simple inheritance patterns.

In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

In this science and language arts activity, learners study fish anatomy and make their very own 3D paper fish.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making an edible treat. First, learners read "Dinosaur Bones" by Aliki to examine how fossils are formed.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners identify the DNA base bars guanine, cytosine, thymine and adenine. Learners create a DNA model using colored paper clips to resemble these base pairs.

In this activity (page 5 of pdf), learners explore the relationships between the shape and structure of a shark's teeth and the food it eats, and then create their own shark tooth from clay.

In this activity, learners discover how sediment is affected in an oil spill. Learners investigate the differences between heavy and light oil as well as the differences between different sediments.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

This activity (on pages 19-24) introduces learners to the rain forest's layers—emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor—and has learners make paper lianas (vines that live attached to trees) and

In this activity, learners can play two card games related to endangered species, specifically North American amphibians.

In this outdoor activity, learners turn the fun of feeding wild birds into an investigation of bird behavior.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

In this activity, learners cut, fold, and paste paper representing biomolecules to create a three-dimensional cell membrane with embedded proteins.

In this activity about physical stress (page 28 of PDF), learners discover that muscles and bones need to work to stay strong.

In this activity about the human heart (on page 5 of the PDF), learners work in teams to simulate the volume of blood moved through the circulatory system by transferring liquid into--and through--a s
