In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

This is a series of quick activities/demos and pre-assessment tools that evaluate learners' current understanding of microbes and introduce them to basic information about microbes.

In this activity, learners use a microscope to examine three different microbes: bacteria, yeast and paramecia. Educator will need to prepare the yeast solution one day before the activity.

This activity helps learners visualize the Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) by constructing three-dimensional HIV particle models from paper.

In this activity, learners construct possible food webs for six different ecosystems as they learn about the roles of different kinds of living organisms.

In this activity related to microbes, learners make slides of cells from an onion skin and Elodea (American or Canadian waterweed) to observe under a microscope.

In this activity, learners act as epidemiologists by mapping the prevalence of HIV/AIDS worldwide.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

In this activity related to microbes, learners use water drops and hand lenses to begin the exploration of magnification. This activity also introduces learners to the microscope.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

In this four-day activity, learners grow bacteria and/or fungi from a variety of locations and compare the results.

In this activity, learners use sets of cards to assign microorganisms to different groups.
