In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore dirt and what is in it by painting with mud.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore turtle basic adaptations and biology. Turtle external anatomy is explored by "building" a turtle with a nature collage.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.

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 activity, learners explore the structure of plant leaves. Learners find out what happens when they coat either the top or bottom sides of leaves with petroleum jelly.

In this activity, learners explore why they can see colors in bubbles and why they change.

In this activity, learners set up a night time insect observation station with a light and sheet.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

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

In this activity, learners discover how exercise helps keep the body healthy. Learners increase their heart rates by running and understand how running fast versus walking affects their pulse rates.

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.

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, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

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

In this group or individual activity, learners are encouraged to watch birds near home or school—possibly where birds are nesting in a tree, pecking in a park, feeding from a feeder, or flying through

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

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

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