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

In this activity, learners will investigate and compare the root systems of plants. Explore how weed and edible plant roots differ, and take a closer look inside with the careful use of a knife!

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

A design challenge that takes paper airplanes into an entirely different direction: a magnus glider uses cups and and rubber bands to create a glider that uses the same forces that a curveball (from b

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 discover how exercise helps keep the body healthy. Learners increase their heart rates by running and understand how running fast versus walking affects their pulse rates.

In this math activity, learners observe and sketch cracking patterns in pavement.

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 their feet to estimate distances. Learners calculate the distance of one step in centimeters by measuring 10 steps at a time to reduce measurement error.

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

You may have tried to throw a curveball or a slider, or even a screwball, with an ordinary baseball and found it difficult to do.

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

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

In this math activity, learners make their own bubble wands and determine if the size of the wand affects the number of bubbles it produces.

In this optics activity, learners use a shoebox, colored cellophane and sunlight to "change" the colors of gumballs. Learners will be surprised when the green and blue gumballs appear black!

In this activity, learners use cheap, thin plastic garbage bags to quickly build a solar hot air balloon. In doing so, learners will explore why hot air rises.

In this activity about gravity (page eight of the pdf), learners will very simply explore how gravity affects objects using balls and toys.
