Learners use several types of insect sampling and collection equipment to make an insect collection. Learners can collect insects from their schoolyard or yard at home.

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.

In this activity, learners use coverslips to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.

Make impact craters with marbles (or rocks or washers) in a container of flour. Find out what you can learn about your "comets" by the craters they make.

In this activity, one person acts as a human robot while another acts as their developer by programming their actions.

In this geometry activity, learners explore networks painted on playgrounds, such as a four square court, and draw their own.

In this health and fitness activity, learners focus on the importance of daily physical activity, specifically walking.

In this activity, learners make a parachute out of tissue paper, tape, and string. Then, learners test their parachute to see how many paper clips it can carry.

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

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

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 capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

This warm weather activity introduces learners to the impact trees have on blocking the sun's heat and reducing temperature on the Earth's surface.

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 activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!

In this math lesson, learners estimate distances between landmarks and use a map and scales to determine the actual distances.
