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

Phylogenetics
Source Institutions
This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

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.

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.

Volume, Mass, and Density Boxes
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can utilize it to investigate volume, mass, and density.

Map That Habitat
Source Institutions
Historically, sea floor mapping (bathymetry) was done by soundings.

Mystery Box: Making Observations and Collecting Data
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to learn to differentiate between qualitative and quantitative observations and to practice data collection.

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.

Measurement: Sand Babies
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

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.

Raising the Level of Carbon Dioxide in Your Blood
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 146 of the PDF), learners will explore the effects of increased carbon dioxide in the bloodstream.

House Warming
Source Institutions
In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

FlyBy Math: Distance-Rate-Time Problems in Air Traffic Control
Source Institutions
In this small-group activity, learners assume the roles of pilots, air traffic controllers, and NASA scientists to solve five Air Traffic Control (ATC) problems.

Chromatography
Source Institutions
In this chemistry activity, learners will separate a mixture of FD&C dyes (colors certified and allowed by the US for the Food, Pharmaceutical, Cosmetics & Personal Care industry) to practice

Can Nutrients in Water Cause Harm?
Source Institutions
In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

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.

Home Water Audit
Source Institutions
This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.
Haunted by Hurricanes: Use Data to Learn About Hurricanes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will determine if the frequency and intensity of hurricanes are changing using real data from the National Hurricane Center.

Lungometer
Source Institutions
In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.
