In this activity learners will create paint out of natural materials. Explore your natural world (or your fridge) and find berries, leaves, or flowers to find a great base for your paint.

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

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

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.

This guide outlines how to plant a garden even if you don't have a yard!

This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

In this activity, learners use binoculars (or a telescope) to identify and track sunspots. If using binoculars, learners need a pair that can be secured on a tripod.

In this activity, learners make their own solar oven to bake s'mores and learn about how solar energy is absorbed on Earth.

Glare from the sun and ripples from the wind can make it hard to see what's below the surface of a body of water.
