In this activity, learners will dissect a pumpkin or winter squash to learn the parts of the plant. This activity gets your learner hands on with every part of the plant and will be messy.

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

In this activity, learners explore the concept of insulation by trying to keep Olaf the Snowman from melting. This activity encourages critical thinking and problem solving.

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

In this activity, learners examine the properties of different seaweeds, investigate what happens when powdered seaweed (alginate) is added to water, and learn about food products made with seaweed.

This is part 2 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity and must be done after part 1: Sedimentary Rocks. In this activity, learners explore how metamorphic rocks form.

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.

Agriculturalists have long considered mushroom growing a challenge, largely because you need a piece of benchtop equipment known as a laminar flow hood.

This is part 3 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. Before starting this section, learners must have completed part 1: sedimentary rock and part 2: metamorphic rocks.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

In this activity, learners will use simple materials to explore centripetal force and variables by swinging a cup of water without having the water spill out.

In this interactive game, learners listen to the songs of four different thrushes and then try to match each bird with its song.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.
