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

In this math lesson, learners use inchworm measuring tools to measure the lengths of several objects in the room.

In this activity, learners will create their own coral polyps - the basis for a coral reef.

In this activity, learners investigate balance and symmetry by designing a symmetrical butterfly, using a paper cutout.

En esta actividad, los aprendices harán un terrario usando materiales simples.

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

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.

Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.

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 observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

This activity is a fun way to show two stages in a Monarch butterfly's life cycle. Learners will create an optical illusion that can be flipped from caterpillar to butterfly.

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

This PDF contains 12 calendars (12 months). Each month contains activities about math. Things to do on familiar holidays (like July 4), less common holidays (like Backward Day), and any day.

This activity is on page 10 (continued on the right side of page 11) of the pdf, part of the Forest Animals Discovery Box. In this game, learners act out the food web.

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

Build a fruit fly trap out of a 2-liter plastic bottle and some rotten fruit! Fruit flies are easy to catch in warm weather. Once you catch some, you will be able to see their life cycle up-close.

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, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

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

In this activity, learners compare frog eggs to chicken eggs to better understand why frog eggs need water. Learners compare a boiled chicken egg to "frog eggs" represented by boiled tapioca.
