This is an activity where learners will discover what types and how many insects live in their own backyard.

Discover the wind's direction using bubbles, a map and a keen eye. Learners blow bubbles and note their general direction on a map, taking readings from different points around a building.

In this activity, learners make a solar oven. Learners witness the awesome power of the sun to make a yummy treat--a chocolate chip cookie!

In this collecting/comparing activity, learners work with samples of sand from different places like a lakefront, river, or ocean beach.

In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

This activity is intended to familiarize learners with native Houston birds, introduce learners to tools biologists use in the field, and to enhance their observation skills.

In this activity/demonstration, learners explore pollen and how insects and animals transport pollen. Learners investigate and compare wind and animal pollination.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their senses.

This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the water currents that aquatic animals create when they breathe, feed, and propel themselves through water.

In this activity, learners survey living organisms near where they live or go to school, and create a local field guide.

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
