In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

In this outdoor, mystery-solving activity, learners work like detectives, gathering evidence to identify the culprits that are attacking plants.

In this activity (p.24 of PDF), learners make paper with fungi. Learners discover that paper is basically a flat mat of fibers.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

Learners investigate the properties of the liquids in two bottles. One contains layers of oil and water, and one contains oil, water, and soap.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

In this activity (page 13 of the PDF), learners discover how weathering and erosion change the Earth’s surface.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.

Learners explore capillary action in plants (such as plants ability to move water from roots to leaves) in an investigation called Paper Blooms.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

In this activity, learners explore the web of connections among living and non-living things.

In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.

When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.
