An Interdisciplinary Deer and Human Population Study
Source Institutions
This activity helps the learner answer the question: "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" Learners play a

Habitat Observations
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.

Squishy Letters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will practice writing while making a fun messy craft. Learners will explore texture and color as well as develop writing and fine motor skills through this activity.

Dancing Compasses
Source Institutions
Learners use compasses to detect the magnetic field created by current moving through a wire. This is one of four activities learners can complete related to PhysicsQuest 2008.

Magnet Powered Pinwheel
Source Institutions
Learners use the current flowing in a wire to create a magnetic field that turns a magnet. Learners can use this property of electromagnetism to build a magnet-powered pinwheel.

Curious Contraptions
Source Institutions
In this engineering design activity, learners will design, test, and build a “haunting machine” to solve a Sherlockian mystery.

Dinosaur Interaction
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

Lengths of Ladybugs
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.

Three Little Pigs Construction Company
Source Institutions
In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

Is it a Fish?
Source Institutions
This activity is on page 8 of the pdf, part of the Sea Life Discovery Box. This is an activity exploring the characteristics of fish.

Doughy Physics
Source Institutions
Learners drop two different masses of play dough and observe how long it takes them to hit the ground.

Watch It Fly
Source Institutions
Learners observe projectile motion by launching wooden balls off of a table top. They set up a rubber-band launcher so that each ball experiences a consistent amount of force.

Make a Dinosaur Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

The Desert Blooms!
Source Institutions
This activity attempts to clear up the common misconception that deserts are always hot, totally dry, and uninhabitable.

Make a Dinosaur
Source Institutions
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.

Ask an Elder
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

Swinging Yo-Yo
Source Institutions
Learners build a pendulum from a yo-yo, and then design their own experiment to determine what affects the pendulum's period of swing.

When Pigs Fly
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

Oh Buoy!
Source Institutions
Learners work in pairs to design, construct, and test a device that exhibits positive, neutral, and negative buoyancy. They test a number of different objects in water to see if they sink or float.

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