Source Institutions
Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.

Fruity-Glows: Pictures of Health on a Microarray Canvas
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
Trees: Buds and Twigs
Source Institutions
In this hands-on nature activity, learners observe the emergence of leaves and flowers. Branches from trees and bushes are collected in the early spring, brought indoors, and placed in water.

Leapin' Lizards
Source Institutions

Dinosaur Bone Experiments
Source Institutions
This activity features two connected hands-on activities about dinosaur bones.

Genetics the Easy Way
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make critters out of recyclables and apply the rules of mathematics to solve genetics problems.
