This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the carbon cycle using movement and props to aid in comprehension.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then

In this outdoor simulation game, learners search for pretend animals called "sticklers" to determine and map where they live (habitat) and how spread out they are in that area (distribution).

In this online activity, learners discover how random variation influences biological evolution.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this activity, learners use aluminum trays and wooden blocks to form stream tables to investigate river formations in two different landscape scenarios.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

In this online activity about heart disease, learners will pick one of three patients (based on actual patient histories) and help a cardiologist diagnose and prescribe treatments for him or her.

In this activity, learners are introduced to tree rings by examining a cross section of a tree, also known as a “tree cookie.” They discover how tree age can be determined by studying the rings and ho

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners identify the reproductive parts of plants and the animal (bee) structures involved in pollination.

In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.

In this hands-on activity, learners simulate the crashing and smashing of a meteor impact using household cooking supplies.

In this online activity, learners will explore size estimation in one, two and three dimensions. Multiple levels of difficulty allow for progressive skill improvement.
