In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.

In this activity, learners will observe and record living things with in outlined outside space.

In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

In this activity, learners will create a home for animal friends in their backyard using recycled materials. Some material suggestions include: pine straw and twigs.

Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

In this activity, learners use a hand-made protractor to measure angles they find in playground equipment.

An ordinary camera has a lens that makes an image on film. In a pinhole camera, a small hole replaces the lens.

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 activity, learners explore the physics of impact craters from their own backyard using mud. Learners are encouraged to match features of real impact craters to their models.

Use echolocation to find others and experience how whales’ senses have adapted to suit their environment. In pairs, learners are blindfolded and use containers filled with marbles to find each other.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

In this activity, learners use binoculars (or a telescope) to identify and track sunspots. If using binoculars, learners need a pair that can be secured on a tripod.

Glare from the sun and ripples from the wind can make it hard to see what's below the surface of a body of water.
