In this online game, learners test their skills of categorization.

In this lab (Activity #1 on page), learners compare bacteria growth on two petri dishes containing nutrient agar: one that has been touched by a finger washed only with water and one that has been tou

Learners practice their taxonomy skills by sorting a group of fasteners (e.g. rubber bands, buttons, paper clips, screws) into different categories.

In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

In this optics activity, learners use everyday materials to make a color wheel. When learners spin the wheel like a top, they will be surprised to see all the colors mixing together to appear white.

In this activity, learners explore sound by constructing a simple piano out of wood and craft sticks.

In this easy demonstration (3rd on the page), learners explore depth perception by conducting a test with two pencils.

In this quick and simple activity about reflexes (at the top of the webpage), learners conduct a simple test to explore pupillary response.

In this activity (8th activity on the page) about the sense of touch, learners make their own set of Braille letters. Learners use glue to make raised dots on a Braille Alphabet Sheet.

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.

In this physics activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will--using nothing more than a coat hanger and some string--explore and understand sound energy and how it moves.
