Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals often have crystal shapes. In this fun activity about geometry in nature, learners create their own crystal shapes out of paper.

In this activity, learners use multiple thermometers, placed at different angles, and a lamp to investigate why some places on Earth's surface are much hotter than others.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this activity, learners build their own magnetometer using an empty soda bottle, magnets, laser pointer, and household objects.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

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

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.

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

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?
