Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a windmill to harness the power of wind.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.

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

In this activity, learners set up a night time insect observation station with a light and sheet.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

In this activity, learners explore density, convection, stratification, and, by inference, the melting of icebergs. Learners make hypotheses, test their hypotheses, and explain their observations.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this activity, learners test and compare the physical properties of thermoplastic polymers. Learners compare different plastics based on their color, degree of transparency, texture, and density.

In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

In this activity, learners are challenged to build a bird feeder using recycled materials from home and are encouraged to problem solve during the extensions.

Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.
