Population Study Game: Oh, Deer!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

Damsels and Dragons
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

Automotive Emissions and the Greenhouse Effect
Source Institutions
In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.

Build a Giant Puzzle!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

What am I?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

Flower Power
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will experiment with changing flower colors. Learners will investigate the effects of acids and bases on flower colors.

Observing Earthworm Locomotion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.

Make a Terrarium
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

Fossil Rocks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover how fossils are dug out of the earth by carefully exposing treasures hidden in an artificial rock that is easily made at home.

Plant Patterns
Source Institutions
In this outdoor mapping activity, learners explore where plants grow and map plant-distribution patterns.

Build Your Own Hydroelectric Generator
Source Institutions
Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

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

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

Earthquake Science: Soil Liquefaction
Source Institutions
This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

Heat Capacity: Can't Take the Heat?
Source Institutions
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.

Exploring Structures: Butterfly
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.

Runaway Runoff
Source Institutions
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.

Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
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.

Seed Adaptations
Source Institutions
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

Give or Take?
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.
