In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

Did you know that a bullfrog can jump a distance of 10 times its body length? Learn more about nature's most acrobatic amphibian, the frog, through this set of short, hands-on activities.

In this group activity, learners consider environmental conditions—temperature, presence of water, atmosphere, sunlight, and chemical composition—on planets and moons in our solar system to determine

The goal of this Star Wars activity is to design and build a balancing device to help an Ewok escape the Imperial Forces by sliding down a tightrope to safety.

Light painting is a creative activity that involves creating striking images and illusions using a camera, a light source, and a little practice.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

By participating in a seed scavenger hunt, learners examine many adaptations of seeds, including how many seeds a plant makes, how those seeds travel to new locations, and what protects them from pred

Water on Earth is in lakes, the ocean, rivers, underground, and frozen glaciers.

With a bit of PVC, a laser, a can/cup, and a small mirror, you can make a device that visualizes you voice or any sound transmitted into the cup/can.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this chemistry activity, learners use common chemicals and metals to explore single replacement reactions.

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

This activity requires a Pico Cricket (tiny computer).

Learners will do an experiment to determine which type of paper is strongest while focusing on variables and collecting data.

In this activity, learners will engineer a roof using simple materials to protect a construction paper person from a rainstorm.

Learners pour equal amounts of coffee, mineral oil, corn syrup, and alcohol into a beaker. The liquids resolve into stacked layers, and learners can infer which liquids are the most and least dense.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

The Let's Do Chemistry "Build a Battery" activity lets participants learn how batteries work and how materials behave, change, and interact by building their own simple battery out of metal and felt w

In this activity, learners create virus models, including nucleic acid and proteins, using simple materials. This resource includes information about virus structure and gene therapy.

In this activity, learners will experiment to find how long it takes to compost paper. They will create their own compost container and test different variables.
