In this two-part activity about the connection between the lupine plant and butterflies, learners first read "Miss Rumphius," a storybook about lupine by Barbara Cooney.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this outdoor activity, learners release a portion of a lawn from human control—no mowing, no watering, no weeding, no pest control—and then investigate the changes that result over several weeks.

In this outdoor activity, learners cut through and investigate rotten logs and then make log-profile puzzles for each other.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).
