In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

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

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

In this activity, learners use cooperation and logical thinking to find solutions to network problems on the playground.

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

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, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.

This fun, nighttime hands-on astronomy activity lets learners explore how long it takes for light from different objects in the universe to reach Earth.

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

Make a kite out of a garbage bag, shower curtain, painting tarp--anything light, thin, flexible and plastic!

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

Learn about friction and kinetic energy with this cool spinning toy.

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.
