Discovery Time: Dirt
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore dirt and what is in it by painting with mud.

Discovery Time: Turtles
Source Institutions
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.

Build A Bee Bath
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

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

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

Discovery Time: Tracks
Source Institutions
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.

Leaf Me Alone
Source Institutions
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.

Why Are Bubbles So Colorful?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore why they can see colors in bubbles and why they change.

Observing Insects at Night
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners set up a night time insect observation station with a light and sheet.

Make Pooter
Source Institutions
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.

Make a Snake String & Snake Survey
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

Olympic Track Meet
Source Institutions
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.

Bug Hotel
Source Institutions
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.

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

Seed Orbs
Source Institutions
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.

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

Bird Watch
Source Institutions
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

Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

Two Ears are Better Than One: Sound Localization
Source Institutions
This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

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