In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

In this activity, learners work in teams to study the observation skills essential to scientific research.

In this activity, learners discuss and investigate how cameras, telescopes, and their own eyes use light in similar ways.

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

In this engineering activity, learners examine bicycle mechanics and gear ratios. Learners determine which gears will help them bike a set course in the shortest amount of time.

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.
