Plants Around a Building
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

Scavenger Hunt
Source Institutions
An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

Backard Bioblitz Bonanza
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe and record living things with in outlined outside space.

Sensory Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

Basking Basics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore reptile biology by taking temperature readings in various places and comparing them.

Pollinator Bath
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

Root Observations
Source Institutions
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!

Discovery Time: Wildflowers
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore flower and plant biology and pollination by planting seed in a homemade seed starter.

Discovery Time: Dirt
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore dirt and what is in it by painting with mud.

Determining the Amount of Transpiration from a Schoolyard Tree
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

Discovery Time: Birds
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners, (2 years and up) explore bird behavior and adaptations by providing a homemade bird feeder and observing birds.

Discovery Time: Tracks
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners, (2 years and up) explore animal behavior and adaptations by providing a "track trap" and observing the signs animals leave behind.

Make Pooter
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

Make a Snake String & Snake Survey
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

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

Seed Orbs
Source Institutions
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.

Discovery Time: Trees
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore tree structure and biology. Tree products are explored by painitng with fruit.

Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

Bird Feeders
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

Make a Green Gumball Black
Source Institutions
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!
