Clay Exploration
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.
Crazy Shapes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners cut a shape into two equal sized pieces and use their knowledge of geometry and space to prove that the two parts are equal.
Starburst® Graph
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use Starburst® candy to sort, classify, compare, and graph. Learners grab a handful of one-inch candy squares, sort them by color, graph the candy, and discuss the results.
Pass or Roll!
Source Institutions
In this math activity, learners play a game in which every roll can earn you counters, but if you roll the wrong number (6), you have to put everything back.
It's Natural
Source Institutions
This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.
Geometric Solids
Source Institutions
This math activity exposes early learners to a variety of three-dimensional objects. Learners bring geometric solids (everyday objects) from home.
Where Does Life Live?
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 22-24 of the PDF), learners match extreme enviroments with life forms they support.
Healthy Choices: A Family A-Fair
Source Institutions
Learners and their families celebrate and recognize the importance of making healthy choices every day by participating in a health fair.
If You Lived in a Forest
Source Institutions
This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.
Hunting for "Measured" Treasure
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners rotate through various centers while comparing and ordering objects according to length.
Envirolopes
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.
Woodlands Map
Source Institutions
This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit
What is a Fossil?
Source Institutions
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.
As Straight as a Pole
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
Amphibian Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.
Dinosaur Homes
Source Institutions
In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.
Designing a Wall
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 5 of PDF), young learners investigate how materials and design contribute to the strength of a structure, particularly walls.
Silly Putty Investigation
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 7 of PDF), learners explore how Silly Putty was first invented and then attempt to make a batch of their own.
Dinosaur Sock Puppet
Source Institutions
In this activity about dinosaurs, learners first participate in a group discussion about where and when dinosaurs lived, how big they were, and who studies them and how.
Shape & Solid Exploration
Source Institutions
In this game, learners use clues to identify mystery shapes. Use everyday objects (like from the pantry) as the shapes.
