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 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.

When was the last time you took a really close look at a leaf? In this activity, learners will use leaves and simple materials to make colorful leaf rubbings.

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 discover what it takes to be a frog. By dressing up like one, learners can visualize how each part of the frog plays an important role in surviving its habitat.

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