In this activity, learners will construct a device to blow bubbles. By adding corn syrup to the bubble solution, we can increase the surface tension of the bubbles--and their size.

In this activity, learners turn empty 2-liter bottles into a see-through compost container.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore flower and plant biology and pollination by planting seed in a homemade seed starter.

Don't scream for ice cream -- make it with milk, sugar, flavoring and some 'salt-water' ice. Discover the chemistry of ice cream by creating your own.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an air-powered spinning machine.

In this activity about friction and gravity (page seven of the pdf), learners use toy racing cars to explore how the two forces affect the motion of objects.

This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

When was the last time you took a really close look at a leaf? In this activity, learners will use leaves and simple materials to make colorful leaf rubbings.

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.

In this activity, learners track their movements with jumping and leaping graphs.

This lesson (on pages 15-24 of PDF) explores how sound is caused by vibrating objects. It explains that we hear by feeling vibrations passing through the air.

In this physics activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate air has weight by comparing an inflated balloon to a deflated one.

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 (17th on the page), learners investigate why you cannot see colors in dim light.

In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

In this activity, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.

Capture soap bubble patterns on paper! In this activity, learners can create beautiful pictures from popping soap bubbles.

In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.
