In this activity, learners will measure the length of their shadow from the Sun and compare it three to four months later.

In this activity, learners keep track of how much paper the group uses in a week. Build awareness of paper waste, while strengthening measurement and estimation skills.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

In this activity, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.

In this activity, learners explore how and why rainbows form by creating rainbows in a variety of ways using simple materials. Learners create rainbows indoors and outdoors.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

In this activity, learners will estimate the sizes of balls to learn how to estimate the size of hail. Learners will compare their estimates to the estimates of their peers and the real measurements.

In this activity, learners sort different natural phenomena into categories (they occur on Earth, on the Moon, or on both), and then model how energy moves during a quake using spring toys.

In this activity, learners create a garden in a disposable glove. They learn about the conditions necessary to make the seeds sprout and actively participate in caring for their plants.

"What's in the Water" lets participants use tools to solve the mystery- what chemicals and compounds are in a sample of water?

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this activity, learners estimate how much water they think can be found in various locations on the Earth in all its states (solid, liquid, and gas) to discover the different water ratios in the Ea
