This activity demonstrates the specificity of viral vectors for target cells in gene therapy delivery methods using two approaches: 1) STYROFOAM® models demonstrate viral ligand binding to receptor pr

This activity (on pages 35-43) lets learners analyze a "herd of elk" to detect the spread of a bacterial disease called brucellosis.

In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

In this activity learners observe mold growth on different types of bread by measuring and recording the growth rate.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.

In this activity on page 1 of the PDF, learners compare the relative sizes of biological objects (like DNA and bacteria) that can't be seen by the naked eye.

In this activity, learners explore how different deodorants work. Learners treat agar plates with different types of deodorants and compare the bacteria growth on the plates to the control sample.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs) is a full inquiry investigation into using indicator species to assess the health of an environment.

Can you avoid the body's immune system and make someone sick? Play this online game in which you go inside a human body to explore how viruses attack cells in the body.

This lesson introduces learners to the world of nematodes (roundworms).

In this activity (p.3-4 of PDF), learners learn about disease transmission and antibiotic resistance.

In this activity (on pages 2-8), learners experience how scientists use classification in their study of animals.

In this activity, learners create a sealed, mini ecosystem that supplies freshwater shrimp with food, oxygen, and waste processing for at least three months.

In this activity (p.7-8 of PDF), learners examine fossil formation.

In this four-part laboratory exercise, learners investigate properties of Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV) including (1) symptoms induced by the virus in susceptible plants at the macroscopic and microscopi

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this activity on page 4 of the PDF, learners investigate the importance of washing their hands.

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

In this online simulation, learners use antibiotics to cure patients with bacterial infections.
