Salts & Solubility
Source Institutions
In this online interactive simulation, learners will add different salts to water and then watch the salts dissolve and achieve a dynamic equilibrium with solid precipitate.

Finding a Gene on the Chromosome Map
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use pedigree and jigsaw puzzles to explore how scientists use genetic information from a family to identify a gene associated with a genetic disorder.
Coincidental Colonization
Source Institutions
In this game of chance, learners will discover how organisms colonized the Galápagos Islands, experiencing how chance plays a role in the successful dispersal of species to new areas.

Coral, Carbon Dioxide and Calcification
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

Exploring the Nanoworld with LEGO Bricks: Probing the Structure of Materials at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
In this activity (pages 17-31), learners are introduced to techniques that are used to determine the structures of solid materials.

Animal Anti-Freeze
Source Institutions
In this outdoor winter activity, learners search for and create hibernation sites that will protect gelatin "animals" from freezing.

Shake it up with Seismographs!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

Desert Water Keepers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

Design a Lunar Rover!
Source Institutions
In this team design challenge (page 2-10 of PDF), learners design and build a model of a Lunar Transport Rover that will carry equipment and people on the surface of the Moon.

Flower Powder
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

Assembly Line
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work individually to assemble a product and then work in teams to design, construct, test, and redesign an assembly line process whose product must meet specific quality con

Get a Leg Up
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experiment and collect data during a simulation of the fluid shifts experienced by astronauts' bodies in microgravity.

My Solar System
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners build their own system of heavenly bodies and watch the gravitational ballet.

In the Toilet
Source Institutions
This activity explores the basic workings of a siphon, which is the core technology that makes toilets work.

Paint by the Numbers
Source Institutions
In this pencil and paper activity, learners work in pairs and simulate how astronomical spacecraft and computers create images of objects in space.

Design a Landing Pod!
Source Institutions
In this team design challenge (page 11-18 of PDF), learners design and build a Landing Pod for a model Lunar Rover (previously built in activity on page 1-10 of PDF).

Star Search
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners can test their skills at finding constellations in the northern hemisphere's night sky.

Jump for the Moon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will train to increase bone strength and to improve heart and other muscle endurance by performing jump training with a rope, both while stationary and moving.

As The Stomach Churns
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners fill two test tubes with a solution of "artificial stomach fluid," consisting of hydrochloric acid in the same concentration as in human stomachs, some soap to cre

Antigen-Antibody Testing: A Visual Simulation or Virtual Reality
Source Institutions
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.
