In this activity, learners slide shapes to create unusual tiled patterns.

This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of

In this art/science/math activity, young learners are introduced to the concept of symmetry in nature.

In this activity, learners create their own icons for a forecast-at-a-glance poster for their classroom/learning space.

In this activity, learners will create their own percussion instrument with recycled materials. Learners will explore design, fabrication, cause and effect and sound through this activity.

In this activity, learners will dip different items in paint and then roll those items down a ramp. Learners will use science process skills such as observations and experimenting.

In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

Learners build a model of the planets in the solar system. In their model, the planets are spaced in their relative distance from the Sun.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

In this activity, early learners combine pre-cut recognizable shapes and their own abstract ideas to make representational pictures (e.g. houses, trees, shoes).

This activity introduces learners to the structure and properties of carbon nanotubes.

Use the Zoo Calendar (page 1 of PDF) to involve learners in interdisciplinary, whole language, and writing activities about ecological concepts.

Build a house you can fit inside, using cardboard tubes.

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits), learners will visit a zoo, aquarium, or pet store to view a variety of fish.

In this activity, learners build unique yo-yos, which spin round and round without moving up and down.

In this activity, learners repeat patterns in two and three dimensions to create tessellations. This activity combines the creativity of an art project with the challenge of solving a puzzle.

In this activity related to dinosaurs, learners explore why animals live in families. Learners discuss and identify animals living in families or groups from images and photos.
