Discovery Time: Tracks
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners, (2 years and up) explore animal behavior and adaptations by providing a "track trap" and observing the signs animals leave behind.
It's Natural
Source Institutions
This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.
Discovery Time: Wildflowers
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore flower and plant biology and pollination by planting seed in a homemade seed starter.
Envirolopes
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.
Butterflies and Moths: Camouflage
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a camouflaged butterfly to hide outside for others to find.
Observing Insects at Night
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners set up a night time insect observation station with a light and sheet.

As Straight as a Pole
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.
Pollinator Bath
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

Is It Possible: Estimating Measurement
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.
Straws and Airplanes
Source Institutions
Create airplanes from straws and geometric shapes. Test them out to see how far they can fly, or how accurately they can be aimed.
Is It Living?
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.
