In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

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

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a "litter-critter" wheel to help them identify different animals they find living in a natural litter habitat.

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

In this sunny day activity, learners compare how a cup of water and a cup of tonic water reflect or refract light in the sun.

In this weather activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will construct their very own anemometer to measure wind speed.

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.

Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

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