In this activity, learners use a chemical reaction to visualize where moisture forms on the body.

In this lab, learners evaluate the relative effectiveness of various chemical substances (i.e. garlic powder, bathroom cleaner, mouthwash, etc.) as antimicrobial agents.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

Over 1 or 2 days, learners use vinegar to remove the calcium from a chicken bone. They then explore how the bones have changed. An accompanying video with Mr.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

You just ate a big meal and feel heartburn coming on. You take an antacid and feel better. Why? Heartburn is caused by stomach juice (an acid) burning the esophagus.

In this activity (1st on the page), learners explore circadian rhythms by keeping track of their body temperature.

In this activity, learners investigate procedural memory.

In this activity, learners perform a simulated blood test procedure.

In this activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

In this activity (on page 142 of the PDF), learners will compare breathing rates before and after hyperventilation to explore how reduced carbon dioxide levels in the blood lower the need to breathe.

In this activity, learners explore how their depth perception would be affected if they only had one eye. Learners work in pairs and attempt to drop a penny in a cup with one eye covered.

Although we may not admit it, all humans fart or pass some gas. In this activity, learners make their own model to mimic food passing through intestines and discover what releases gas.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity about how the body regulates blood pressure (page 117 of the PDF), learners make and compare measurements of heart rate and blood pressure from three body positions: sitting, standing

In this activity about center of gravity (page 23 of PDF), learners investigate how the body adjusts to the force of gravity to remain balanced.

In this life science activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore the carbon cycle by mixing yeast, sugar and water.

In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.
