In this activity, learners will go outside and create a constellation.

In this activity, young learners go on a walk with caregivers and use their senses to observe nature with the help of scavenger hunt sheet.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

In this activity, learners will measure the length of a shadow and use the distance from the equator to calculate the circumference of the earth.

In this activity, learners simulate the energy transfer between the earth and space by using the light from a desk lamp desk lamp with an incandescent bulb and a stack of glass plates.

In this math activity related to light, learners assemble a photometer and use it to estimate the power output of the Sun.
