Saguaro Nest Cavities
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

Compare Dinosaur Body Parts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

The Search for Secret Agents
Learners tour their school or home looking for sources of indoor air pollutants (IAPs).

From the Ground Up
Source Institutions
In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

Sleep Patterns
Source Institutions
In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 21 of the PDF), learners will collect data about their own sleep cycles and use a fraction wheel to examine their data.

Good Stress
Source Institutions
In this activity about physical stress (page 28 of PDF), learners discover that muscles and bones need to work to stay strong.

A System of Transport
Source Institutions
In this activity about the human heart (on page 5 of the PDF), learners work in teams to simulate the volume of blood moved through the circulatory system by transferring liquid into--and through--a s

What is Blood Pressure?
Source Institutions
In this activity about heart health (on page 34 of the PDF), learners measure their own blood pressure using an electronic blood pressure monitor with a self-inflating cuff (included in cost of materi

Sharks: Taking a Bite Out of The Myth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore trends in shark populations using shark landing data from the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Statistics: Creature Features
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners collect, organize, and analyze a set of data related to types of animals in the temperate forest.

Special Effects: Titanic and Beyond
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how geometry plays a role in perspective.

Digging Deeper!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

Population Study Game: Oh, Deer!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

Slowing the Flow
Source Institutions
In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

Structure of Matter: Pigment vs. Iridescence
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) about how visible light is affected by tiny nanoscale structures, producing iridescence on butterfly wings, soap bubbl

Damsels and Dragons
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

Coffee to Carbon
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners place cards featuring biological structures in order by their relative size from largest to smallest.

Automotive Emissions and the Greenhouse Effect
Source Institutions
In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.

Build a Giant Puzzle!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

What am I?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.
