Bee Builders
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of a beehive using simple materials.

Have a Heart
Source Institutions
Your heart pumps blood throughout your body in one direction, around in a loop. In this activity, learners will make a model of one type of heart chamber called a ventricle.

Invent an Animal
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

Desert Water Keepers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

Flower Powder
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

Wash Away Germs
Source Institutions
Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

Snug as a Bug
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners make models of homes that might protect small animals from the elements, then search living plants for real structures made by small animals.

Water Underground
Source Institutions
Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

Spill Spread
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.

Bird Feeder
Source Institutions
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.

Bird Nests
Source Institutions
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.

Invent a Plant
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

Bone Fractures
Source Institutions
Most people break at least two bones in their lifetime. In this activity, learners will use celery stalks to model the many ways that bones can fracture.

The Gas You Pass
Source Institutions
Although we may not admit it, all humans fart or pass some gas. In this activity, learners make their own model to mimic food passing through intestines and discover what releases gas.

Freezing Lakes
Source Institutions
In some parts of the world, lakes freeze during winter. In this activity learners will explore water’s unique properties of freezing and melting, and how these relate to density and temperature.

Build a Lung
Source Institutions
Most of the time, we don't have to think about breathing. In fact, you're probably breathing right now without thinking about it!

Snotty Nose
Source Institutions
Our bodies produce snot, or mucus, that we blow from our noses. In this activity, learners will create a model of how snot works and will explore how it keeps our bodies healthy.

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

Hold It
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate the special shapes, holding structures and holding behaviors that real organisms use in streams, rivers, creeks or coast intertidal zones to a

Food Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.
