In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

In this activity, learners explore the structure of plant leaves. Learners find out what happens when they coat either the top or bottom sides of leaves with petroleum jelly.

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

In this activity, learners plant seeds and watch them sprout and grow inside a CD case.

Learners make a "menu" of any plants in their lunch for Monday through Friday and draw the plants from their lunch.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners follow simple steps to recycle old newspaper into new paper.

In this group or individual activity, learners are encouraged to watch birds near home or school—possibly where birds are nesting in a tree, pecking in a park, feeding from a feeder, or flying through

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

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

In this activity, learners will collect, dry and press seaweed over the course of four days in a similar way that artists/crafters press flowers.

This is a hands-on activity that uses bread and household materials to grow mold. Learners collect dust from a room, wipe it on food, and contain it. One to seven days later, mold has grown.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.
