In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.
Electricity: Fruit Batteries
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a battery from fruit. This activity helps learners explore electricity, electrochemistry, and series circuits as well as the process of scientific inquiry.
Photolithography
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use UV light to transfer a pattern onto a plastic board. The pattern is transferred by placing a mask (a transparency sheet with the pattern) on a plastic board.
Litter Critters
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use a "litter-critter" wheel to help them identify different animals they find living in a natural litter habitat.

In this outdoor, mystery-solving activity, learners work like detectives, gathering evidence to identify the culprits that are attacking plants.
Logs to Soil
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners cut through and investigate rotten logs and then make log-profile puzzles for each other.
Protein Factory
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take on the role of various parts of the cell in order to model the process of protein synthesis.
Trail Construction
Source Institutions
In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.
Trees: Buds and Twigs
Source Institutions
In this hands-on nature activity, learners observe the emergence of leaves and flowers. Branches from trees and bushes are collected in the early spring, brought indoors, and placed in water.
Outbreak!: Investigating Epidemics
Source Institutions
A group of learners simulates the spread of disease by trading slips of paper, one set of which has been treated with a baking soda solution.
