Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

Measure Yourself in Nanometers
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

Spill Spread
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.

Take a Plant to Lunch
Source Institutions
Learners make a "menu" of any plants in their lunch for Monday through Friday and draw the plants from their lunch.

Source Institutions
Most people break at least two bones in their lifetime. In this activity, learners will use celery stalks to model the many ways that bones can fracture.
