Investigate a flower's power of marketing by making an imitation flower that successfully signals a bee (or other pollinator of your choice) to visit.

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, young learners, (2 years and up) explore bird behavior and adaptations by providing a homemade bird feeder and observing birds.

In this activity, learners will explore the insect life cycle by making a model.

In this activity, learners make a camouflaged butterfly to hide outside for others to find.

In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of forces - kinetic energy and friction while making a moving toy woodpecker.

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

In this activity, learners will experiment with the physics of flight by making a gliding contraption with strange looking wings. The activity explores flight with connections to the natural world.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore turtle basic adaptations and biology. Turtle external anatomy is explored by "building" a turtle with a nature collage.

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

In this quick activity, learners explore how blubber protects animals from the cold by making a "blubber mitt." Using cooking shortening, two zip-top sandwich bags, and duct tape, learners simulate bl

In this activity, learners touch and observe skulls of sharks and rays to learn about their diversity (over 400 species of sharks alone!).

In this activity, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.

In this online activity, learners test their ability to hear different frequencies and compare their frequency range with the frequency range of other animals and insects.

In this activity about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.

In this interactive game, learners will test their memory of animal and insect sounds. Flip over cards, listen to the sound, and try to find the ones that match.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?
