Throw that fish back? A new generation of ethical anglers concerned about conserving resources is participating in "catch and release" fishing. How is this going?

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

In this activity, learners help identify native and non-native plant species, learn about invasive species, and determine how native plants provide a healthier habitat.

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

In this activity (on pages 25-32 of PDF), learners make models of the inner ear out of pipe cleaners.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this optics activity, learners examine how a transparent material such as glass or water can actually reflect light better than any mirror.

In this activity, learners construct a device that allows them to view 2-D images in 3-D.

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

Learners use a simple process to extract DNA from strawberries.

In this activity (on pages 22-24 of the PDF), learners match extreme enviroments with life forms they support.

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