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

In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.

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

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.

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.

In this math activity, learners jump and measure how far they can jump on different surfaces using different jumping techniques.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this activity, learners will decide together on a question about how far, long or high the group could reach together.

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

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 activity, learners explore and experiment how we can use our bodies everyday to get from one place to another.

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.

This fun hands-on astronomy activity uses a variety of simple props to help learners understand why they see what they see in a telescope.

In this activity, learners explore properties of water and watch evaporation happen by "painting" with water in the sun.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore evaporation by painting with water and tracing puddles. Learners will discover that wet things become dry as the water evaporates.

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.
