In this activity, learners discover how frogs' bodies change while growing from a tadpole to a frog. Learners create a simple craft that gives a visual display of the metamorphosis process.

In this activity, learners make slides of onion cells and their own cheek cells. Use this lab to teach learners how to prepare microscope slides and use a microscope.

In this activity, "write" a secret message in genetic code as beads on a string.

In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

In this activity, learners make their own edible DNA double helix out of candy and find out about the shape of DNA.

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

In this activity related to computer programming, learners give directions to a "robot" (either an adult or another learner) and find out which instructions the robot is able to follow, and how their

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this genetics activity, learners discover how to extract DNA from green split peas.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners bake cookies by following different recipes to better understand genetic mutations. Everyone in the group bakes the same type of cookie: chocolate chip.

In this activity, learners examine their fingerprints and learn that they can be categorized by shape, but each fingerprint is unique.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this activity, learners create virus models, including nucleic acid and proteins, using simple materials. This resource includes information about virus structure and gene therapy.

Extract your DNA from your very own cells! First, learners swish salt water in their mouth to collect cheek cells and spit the water into a glass.

In this activity, learners extract DNA from a strawberry and discover that DNA is in the food they eat.

In this bilingual (English/Spanish) activity, learners create family trees by tracing the hands of their family members.
