In this activity, learners follow a recipe to create play dough scented with fruit-flavored drink mix.

In this very hands-on lesson, learners will investigate dendrochronology (the study of tree rings to answer ecological questions about the recent past) and come up with conclusions as to what possible

Agriculturalists have long considered mushroom growing a challenge, largely because you need a piece of benchtop equipment known as a laminar flow hood.

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

In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from onion cells using simple materials.

In this activity, learners discover how a cabbage juice indicator helps identify acids and bases, and how iodine indicates the presence of starch.

Why does milk make some people sick? In this activity learners explore this question and explore the chemistry of milk, and our bodies!

In this construction activity, students use a 2-liter bottle to build a fly trap.

In this activity, learners make a model of a pollution spill that occurred at Bangs Lake in Mississippi and measure water quality parameters in their model.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forensics), learners will use a home video camera with a “night vision” mode to test how various inks appear outside the spectrum of visibl

Visitors incrementally increase the amount of iodate in three different test tubes containing the same amount of a starch solution.

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

In this biology experiment, learners plant soybean seeds in plaster of Paris, witnessing firsthand the mighty power and ability of plants to grow in adverse conditions.

In this health activity (on page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about the body‘s defenses against invasion from tiny particles.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into testing a repair material.

In this activity (on page 146 of the PDF), learners will explore the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.
