In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore flower and plant biology and pollination by planting seed in a homemade seed starter.

In this activity, young learners, (2 years and up) explore bird behavior and adaptations by providing a homemade bird feeder and observing birds.

In this activity, young learners, (2 years and up) explore animal behavior and adaptations by providing a "track trap" and observing the signs animals leave behind.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

In this activity, learners will create a home for animal friends in their backyard using recycled materials. Some material suggestions include: pine straw and twigs.

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

In this activity, learners are challenged to build a bird feeder using recycled materials from home and are encouraged to problem solve during the extensions.

An ordinary camera has a lens that makes an image on film. In a pinhole camera, a small hole replaces the lens.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore tree structure and biology. Tree products are explored by painitng with fruit.

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

Explore the effects of gravity on a slowly falling object: a parachute you make out of plastic bags, string and stones.

Make impact craters with marbles (or rocks or washers) in a container of flour. Find out what you can learn about your "comets" by the craters they make.

In this activity, one person acts as a human robot while another acts as their developer by programming their actions.

In this activity, learners use an astrolabe to measure the altitude of objects. Learners will first practice taking measurements by measuring the altitude of trees and buildings.

Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.
