In this activity related to computer programming, learners give directions to a "robot" (either an adult or another learner) and find out which instructions the robot is able to follow, and how their

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

In this biology activity, learners use plastic pipettes to cut wells into the solid gel layer of agar in petri dishes and place solutions of simulated antigen and antibody preparations into the wells.

In this activity on page 60, learners examine and simulate wildlife entanglement by experiencing what it might be like to be a marine animal trapped in debris.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.

In this activity on page 9 of the PDF, learners test how flavoring extracts move through the walls of a balloon.

In this activity, learners create an electrical circuit and investigate how some dissolved substances conduct electricity.

In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.

In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

In this activity about neuron/target muscle recognition (page 44 of the PDF), learners arranged in two rows facing away from each other use string to simulate neural development.

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

In this activity (on pages 30-36), learners simulate a dig for ancient pollen, to experience how paleobotanists study fossilized pollen in rocks to learn about early geological and climatological even

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

In this activity (on pages 18-28), learners explore how the shape of seeds affects how they are dispersed by wind, birds, ocean currents and other means.

In this simulation activity, learners act as parts of the circulatory system and discover how it serves as a transport system for food/nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!
