Water Underground
Source Institutions
Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

Extreme Lifestyles
Source Institutions
In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

Under Pressure: Your Blood Pressure
Source Institutions
During this lesson, learners will determine their blood pressure and learn about systolic and diastolic pressures.

Target Recognition and Synapse Formation During Development
Source Institutions
In this activity about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.

Fuel for Living Things
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

Measuring and Protecting Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

The Bug Walk
Source Institutions
In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

Squash Dissection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will dissect a pumpkin or winter squash to learn the parts of the plant. This activity gets your learner hands on with every part of the plant and will be messy.

Heart and Lungs
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their breathing and pulse rates, and learn how these measurements are affected by physical activity.

Pathways with Friends
Source Institutions
Directed by instructional cards, learners kinesthetically model cell communication by acting as components in a cell signaling pathway.

Your Energy Needs
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.

Building Blocks
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 32 of PDF), learners investigate the nutritional needs of healthy bones and muscles.

Statistics: Steppin' Out
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners construct box-and-whisker plots to analyze and compare data sets. Learners investigate whether or not long-legged people run faster than short-legged people.

Body Biographies
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will learn about a person they admire (famous, family or otherwise) or even themselves and create a life-sized silhouette.
What's in the Bag?
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners use their sense of touch rather than sight to identify a mystery object in a bag. Learners take turns acting as "peekers" and "sensers" throughout the game.

Bird Beaks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.

Magnification vs. Resolution: Can you see the flag on the Moon?
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore the difference between telescope magnification and resolution.

Shape Stamping
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore two-dimensional shapes that are found in three-dimensional shapes. Learners will explore geometry, design, color and tool use through this activity.

Persistence of Vision
Source Institutions
If you had a long tube with a 5 millimeter wide slit, would you see the entire Golden Gate Bridge?

This Bitter Be Good
Source Institutions
In this health and genetics activity, learners determine whether tasting the bitter compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) influences which vegetables a person likes.
