In this outdoor activity, learners build bird nests and place them in the activity area, then play the role of naturalists as they try to locate each other's nests.

Teams of learners use a series of stick figures made from pipe cleaners to model a dance routine. Then, they use this model to communicate to another learner who performs the dance routine.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

In this engineering activity, young learners investigate multi-level buildings.

Students design and create their own air-powered rockets, in this hands-on activity.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this activity, learners create 3D geometric shapes using straws and pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

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 activity, learners make a paper model of a polymer, then make Silly Putty, an actual polymer.

This fun activity uses simple materials such as milk cartons and mirrors to introduce the ideas of optics and visual perception.

This marine biology activity (on pages 11-17) introduces learners to kelp (seaweed) forests that grow in the ocean and are home to many species of sea animals.

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners build a model of a tide pool, using chicken wire, paper mache, and other craft materials.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this activity, leaners explore building techniques by recreating the story of The Three Little Pigs.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

In this activity, learners build scaled-down structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with bamboo skewers and tape.

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