Learners assemble a figure from a nylon stocking or sock stuffed with soil and seeds. The ends of the nylons inside the jar absorb water, which feeds the grass seeds.

In this activity about vision and optical illusions, learners conduct a simple test to demonstrate how our eyes create "afterimages." Learners stare at a black cardboard bat for at least 30 seconds an

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

In this outdoor/indoor activity, learners collect ants and dirt to create an ant farm in a cup that they can observe over time.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

This three-part lab helps learners understand the essential principles governing diffusion and osmosis.

In this activity (page 12), learners explore how molecules self-assemble and how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a comb

Look at pictures through different color filters and you'll see them in a new way. People have used color filters in beautiful photography or sending secret messages.

In this activity, learners will estimate how many seeds are in a fruit or vegetable, then count to find out. The result: mix estimation with healthy eating.

Create your own spinning top, and explore color, shapes and spinning. This activity contains instructions for making your spinning top, and tips on how to design and decorate it.

In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can

In this game, learners cross off or color bingo squares in response to questions about their traits.

In this activity (3rd activity on the page), learners taste test different foods and categorize them as sweet, bitter, sour, or salty. Learners compare their results with the group.

This game uses a modified Uno deck to review concepts related to stem cell research and diabetes.

Use this activity (13th activity on the page) to introduce learners to the sense of touch. Learners collect objects of varying textures like feathers, rocks, sand, etc.

In this activity, learners calculate their water usage (in cups and galloons) during an average shower. Learners also chart and analyze water usage during showers in their households.

In this activity (on pages 15-18 of PDF), learners make a life-size two-dimensional paper model of their own skeletons.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the value of supernovae in the universe.

In this activity, learners create an optical illusion by spinning two attached cups. A round ball seems to magically appear when the cups spin.

In this quick activity, learners take a balance challenge to measure their average balance time. As they collect data, they investigate how practice and repetition improve their balance time.
