Breathing Machine
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in teams to construct human lung models from small plastic beverage bottles and balloons.

Mapping the Spread of HIV/AIDS: Trailing the Pandemic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act as epidemiologists by mapping the prevalence of HIV/AIDS worldwide.

The Self-Watering Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

Lungometer
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

Food for the Brain
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners dissect a piece of pizza to learn about nutrients important for health.

In this activity (page 37 of the PDF), learners observe, on a prepared slide, muscle and spinal cord cells from a rat.

Measurement: It Takes Ten
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

X-ray Dinosaurs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and skeletons. First, learners listen to "Tyrannosaurus Rex" by Daniel Cohen to learn about T. rex dinosaurs specifically.

How Greenhouse Gases Absorb Heat
Source Institutions
Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.

Shadow Puppets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.
Cardio Comparisons
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how their heart rate changes in different situations.

Heavy Metal
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 25-31 of PDF), learners soak sponges with different amounts of plaster of paris to simulate different levels of calcification in bone formation.

Good Vibrations
Source Institutions
This lesson (on pages 15-24 of PDF) explores how sound is caused by vibrating objects. It explains that we hear by feeling vibrations passing through the air.
