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

This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

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

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits), learners will visit a zoo, aquarium, or pet store to view a variety of fish.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Kites) is a full inquiry investigation into how a kite’s shape affects its performance.

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 outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

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 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.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

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

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.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their senses.
