In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of flight by making a gliding contraption with strange looking wings. The activity explores flight with connections to the natural world.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore tree structure and biology. Tree products are explored by painitng with fruit.

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

In this activity, learners explore the importance of active play.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

Use echolocation to find others and experience how whales’ senses have adapted to suit their environment. In pairs, learners are blindfolded and use containers filled with marbles to find each other.

In this activity, learners will explore the foods that are in their kitchen and what sugars are inside of them. Explore nutrition and food labels to better understand the foods you eat.

In this activity, learners discover that it is difficult to trace a curve by using its reflection in a mirror. Use this activity to discuss how the brain works.

Learners draw and cut out shapes of organs from construction paper. Then they attach these organs to the body of one learner to make a life-sized map of all the internal organs.

In this experiment, learners isolate Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) from onion cells using a simple extraction procedure.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to test how fast they can react. Learners try to catch a piece of paper with a ruler printed on it (or a ruler) as quickly as they can.

During this hands-on activity, learners are briefly exposed to moviemaking and animation, when they create their own thaumatropes.

Birds' beaks are designed to allow birds to get the most of whatever food they need. In this activity, learners get an idea of how different beak shapes suit different food sources.

In this activity, learners sublimate dry ice and then taste the carbon dioxide gas.

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

In this self-measuring activity, learners measure and record the length of their foot.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of how engineering has made possible the development of--and ongoing improvements to--adaptive devices that serve to help individuals with a wide range o

Learners write a message in Braille using beans to form the patterns of dots. Learners glue beans in place, and then challenge another learner to read the message.
