In this activity, learners build edible models of DNA, while learning basic DNA structure and the rules of base pairing.

In this activity, learners conduct a controlled experiment to examine which brand of soda makes the best (highest) soda geyser.

In this activity, learners discover why only some types of plastic can be recycled.

In this chemistry activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will observe a physical change.

In this activity (on pages 19-24 of PDF), learners soak chicken bones or eggshells in vinegar for several days.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity), learners will model how caves are formed by placing one piece of chalk in a cup of vinegar and another piece in a cup of water, then

This hands-on activity demonstrates how a material can act differently when it's nanometer-sized.

In this activity (pages 32-41), learners learn how the atomic and molecular arrangement of matter are related to physical properties.

In this online activity, learners experience the thrill of pickle making, and explore how a cucumber becomes a pickle.

In this activity (pages 8-9), learners investigate the properties of smart materials, which are materials that respond to things that happen around them.

In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

In this activity, learners explore how molecules must fit together, like a lock and key, in order to identify each other and initiate a new function as a combined unit.

In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use restriction enzymes to cut up DNA from a virus called Bacteriophage λ, a process known as restriction digestion.

In this activity, learners will explore vegetative propagation while preparing food scraps to grow into plants.

In this activity, learners light an LED with five cents. Learners use two different metals and some sour, salty water to create a cheap battery.

This laboratory exercise is designed to show learners how DNA can easily be extracted from yeast using simple materials.

In this activity, learners use Teflon (PTFE) tape to write secret messages.

Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).
