In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this family or group activity, learners create a nature journal by visiting a local nature center or backyard, observing creatures in their natural habitats, and sketching what they see.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.

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

In this activity, learners create colorful bead bracelets to wear outside while searching for matching colors in plants. Learners will be surprised by the variety of colors in nature.

In this outdoor activity, learners construct bird feeders and set them up at to investigate bird behavior for one or two weeks. Multiple feeder designs are suggested.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
