In this collecting/comparing activity, learners work with samples of sand from different places like a lakefront, river, or ocean beach.

In this activity, learners will go outside and create a constellation.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

In this outdoor activity, learners become beachcombers as they walk on a sandy beach in search of evidence of life.

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

In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.

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 explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

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

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

This hands-on astronomy activity lets learners hunt for different objects in the night sky that contribute to stellar and planetary formation, using a Treasure List.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.

In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.

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.
