In this activity, young learners will explore light and darkness through flashlight play.

In this activity, learners discover how frogs' bodies change while growing from a tadpole to a frog. Learners create a simple craft that gives a visual display of the metamorphosis process.

In this activity, learners examine body parts (including skin, scales, and skulls) from fish, mammals and reptiles. Questions are provided to help encourage learner investigations.

In this activity, learners discover why some nanoscale science and technology is done in the controlled environment of a clean room, what clean rooms are like, and how scientists help keep the clean r

In this activity, learners discover how bats use echolocation to get information about objects in their environment. During the activity, one learner whispers into a tube.

In this arts and crafts activity about animals and animal characteristics, learners will design animal hats and role-play as animals.

In this activity, learners use their imaginations and experiment with different materials to create bug hats.

In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

In this chemistry challenge, learners identify which plants have the enzyme "catalase" that breaks hydrogen peroxide into water and oxygen.

Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

In this health activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will discover why covering their mouth and nose while sneezing is so important.

In this electrochemistry activity, young learners and adult helpers create a battery from a potato to run a clock.

In this activity about dinosaurs, learners first participate in a group discussion about where and when dinosaurs lived, how big they were, and who studies them and how.

Why should we wear masks? Do masks work? Do some masks work better than others? Learners find out in this activity.

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

In this activity, learners will build a honeycomb. Learners will investigate how the shape of the honeycomb develops. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

This activity has learners interacting with live crayfish, but could be adapted for a variety of similar hardy and interesting organisms.
