In this activity learners will create paint out of natural materials. Explore your natural world (or your fridge) and find berries, leaves, or flowers to find a great base for your paint.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

This warm weather activity introduces learners to the impact trees have on blocking the sun's heat and reducing temperature on the Earth's surface.

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

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 will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

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

This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this activity, learners will observe and record living things with in outlined outside space.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activities, learners head outside and investigate trees through bark rubbings. Learners will need paper, a pencil, and some unwrapped crayons to create them.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

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