Laser Projection Microscope
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a laser pointer to project a microscopic image of a liquid sample suspended from the tip of a syringe.

Flower Engineers
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of

Seafood Surgery
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners discover the similarities and differences between a vertebrate and invertebrate by dissecting a perch and a crawfish.

Pet Parasite Detective
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 19-25) is about fleas and ticks, which are common pet parasites.

The Beaks of the Finches
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

Wear a Chimp on Your Wrist
Source Institutions
Learners construct a bracelet containing two strands of beads, which represents a double strand of DNA that codes for a gene. They match beads to the bases in a section of a chimp's DNA code.

Breaking Point
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

Exploring Symbiosis
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover which plants and animals have symbiotic relationships and how this impacts each organism.

Make Your Own Deep-Sea Vent
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

Mighty Seeds
Source Institutions
In this biology experiment, learners plant soybean seeds in plaster of Paris, witnessing firsthand the mighty power and ability of plants to grow in adverse conditions.

No It's Snot
Source Institutions
In this health activity (on page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about the body‘s defenses against invasion from tiny particles.

Size, Scale and Models
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

Building a Magic Carpet
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

Sea Turtle First Aid Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into testing a repair material.

Bird Feeders
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

Mapping the Spread of HIV/AIDS: Trailing the Pandemic
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act as epidemiologists by mapping the prevalence of HIV/AIDS worldwide.

The Self-Watering Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

Germination Station
Source Institutions
In this botany activity, learners will create an experiment about seed germination. This activity gives students an opportunity to explore how seeds germinate and react to surrounding conditions.

BioBlitz
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity), learners will pair up and take a notebook outdoors to a selected location to observe and record a list of living things that t

X-ray Dinosaurs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and skeletons. First, learners listen to "Tyrannosaurus Rex" by Daniel Cohen to learn about T. rex dinosaurs specifically.
