In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.

In this outdoor science/art activity, learners investigate spider webs by using string to create their own spider webs.

In this indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

In this outdoor winter activity, learners search for and create hibernation sites that will protect gelatin "animals" from freezing.
