In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

In this activity, learners observe live fish in tanks to consider how their body structures are related to their behaviors and habitats.

Throw that fish back? A new generation of ethical anglers concerned about conserving resources is participating in "catch and release" fishing. How is this going?

Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

In this activity, learners (at least three) work together to explore the effects of atmospheric pressure.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this optics activity, learners explore color by examining color dots through colored water and the light of a flashlight.

In this data activity, learners will compare and contrast fish communities, diversity and habitats in U.S. National Marine Sanctuaries.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this optics activity, learners explore how light bends and affects what we see.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.

In this activity, learners explore the structure of plant leaves. Learners find out what happens when they coat either the top or bottom sides of leaves with petroleum jelly.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from lima bean bacteria. This experiment requires the use of a centrifuge (not included in cost of materials).

In this activity about engineering, nutrition, and physical activity, learners design and build a healthy bone model of a space explorer which is strong enough to withstand increasing amounts of weigh

By making models of light waves with paper, learners can understand why different colors appear in bubbles.

In this optics activity, learners use paint thinner to make a small jar seem to disappear inside a larger jar.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.
