In this activity, learners of all ages can enjoy experimenting with ice. Try this experiment at the kitchen table or in the great outdoors to encourage budding scientists to experiment with ice.

This is a simple activity fully driven by imagination. Using materials from the home, toys, or items from nature, learners create their own world to play with.

In this activity, learners investigate how different materials repel or absorb water. Learners use spray bottles to explore how everyday items like sponges, cardboard, feathers, etc.

In this fun hands-on activity, learners whip up a batch of cyber-dough (play dough) using math for measurements.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate whether the temperature of the surrounding water affects the rate at which the colored coating dissolves from an M&M.

In this experiment, learners separate different types of molecules in marker inks (using a technique called "thin layer chromatography").

In this activity learners create patterns of hair beads.

Learners observe and record what happens when they manipulate bottles containing a liquid (water or corn syrup) and one or more objects (screw, nail, paper clip).

In this activity, learners listen to a story and tell a story of their own as they learn about the importance of elders in Native American cultures.

In this activity, learners will explore reptile biology by taking temperature readings in various places and comparing them.

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

In this activity (on pages 13-16 of the PDF) learners investigate three mystery samples to see which one contains life. The three samples are sand, sand and yeast, and sand and antacid.

In this activity, learners work in small groups to match various marine animals with their different environments.

Straws and pipe cleaners are terrific materials for building models of pyramids and cubes.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this indoor or outdoor water activity, learners pour water from small cups to large cups and containers. In doing so, they discover water takes the shape of its container.

This activity has three story puzzles learners can solve to learn about life in the Arctic.

This exercise is designed to teach young learners the different parts of a plant (root, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds), the basic functions of each part, and to show that tiny microscopic o

In this math activity, learners use gingerbread cookies to collect and organize simple data. First, learners read "The Gingerbread Boy" by Paul Galdone.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their senses.
