As a long-term project, you can rear monarch butterflies at home or in a classroom.

In this physics activity, learners attempt to lift a jar full of rice using only a spoon.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

In this activity, learners make instant ice cream without using a freezer.

Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

This exercise is designed to teach young learners the different parts of a plant (root, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds), the basic functions of each part, and to show that tiny microscopic o

In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan

This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.

Learners observe an electrochemical cell constructed from a small jar containing zinc and copper strips immersed in separate solutions. The strips are connected to a motor that turns a small fan.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through various centers while comparing and ordering objects according to length.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

In this activity, learners set up a night time insect observation station with a light and sheet.

In this activity about dinosaurs, learners explore how and why fossils form. First, learners are introduced to dinosaur fossils by reading the book "Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones" by Byron Barton.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

In this activity, learners perform 20 arm curls with cans that simulate the weight of beans on Earth versus the weights of the same number of beans on the Moon and in space.

In this activity about water's cohesive and adhesive properties and why water molecules are attracted to each other, learners test if objects repel or absorb water.
