In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.

This great "re-use it" activity will demonstrate how to transform a greeting card into a box. Once constructed, the box can have many uses like holding special notes or keepsakes.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this activity, learners will turn an ordinary tray of sand into a desk-top garden for meditation.

Learners will follow a specific process to make their own paper using scrap paper, newspaper, or junk mail.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.

This activity (on pages 13-18) has learners build a model tree and then figure out how to make their tree stand up by itself.

This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.
