In this activity, learners construct three quick and simple mechanisms to start building a pop-up book. Learners fold, cut, and glue paper to make a bird beak, parallelogram, and V-fold.

In this activity, learners investigate the concepts of relative size and distance by creating a basic model of the solar system.

In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

No glue is needed for learners of any age to become marshmallow architects or engineers.

Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.

Choose a recipe to double (or triple, quadruple, or halve). Show everyone the recipe and engage them in figuring out: How much will we need to increase the recipe to feed everyone?

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this activity, learners follow a recipe to create play dough scented with fruit-flavored drink mix.

In this activity, learners arrange triangles together to make patterns to create paper quilts. Learners experiment with arranging the triangles in different ways to make various designs.

In this challenge, learners figure out how to make a juice stain disappear.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

In this activity, learners explore light and shadows by creating a lantern they can keep on their nightstand.

In this activity, learners listen to a story about a made-up endangered species--a flying frog! Learners print out six story pages and then draw the pictures and write the captions.

In this activity, learners take core samples of candy bars with a straw and carefully observe & excavate their sample, modeled after what the NASA Perseverance rover will do on Mars.

Put the math of measurement, numbers, and everyday life into improvisational skits.

In this design activity, learners create a vehicle that can transport a load, like a favorite toy or as a recycled object, from the top of a zipline to the bottom using only gravity.

In this activity (page 4), learners work in groups to plan and build large structures using recyclable materials they have brought from home.

In this activity, learners investigate how wolves communicate with each other through different body postures.

This activity includes several games about animal sounds. Using their sense of hearing and communicating with various kinds of noisemakers, learners role-play predator and prey.

In this activity, learners use geometry in observing the shapes and angles soap bubbles create when they join together.
