Seed Orbs
Source Institutions
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.

Exploring Structures
Source Institutions
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

Healthy Habitats Have Native Plants
Source Institutions
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.

Clay Exploration
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

Infrared Investigations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how infrared technology is used by engineers to create equipment and systems for a variety of industries.

Let It Roll
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will make their own "ball bearing" with two jar lids, marbles, and some household supplies.

Building an Army
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the potential of interchangeable standard parts to create a large number of unique creations in different combinations.

Sticky Situation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners separate the protein from milk and and use it to make their own glue.

The Variety and Roles of Microbes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sets of cards to assign microorganisms to different groups.

Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore trends in Canada goose populations using real data from the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count.

Exploring Shadows
Source Institutions
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

Four Corners
Source Institutions
In this design challenge activity, learners build a machine out of cardboard that runs smoothly and dependably. Learners must be precise to make sure their component works properly.
