Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

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

In this activity, learners explore the physics of impact craters from their own backyard using mud. Learners are encouraged to match features of real impact craters to their models.

In this activity, learners make pykrete by freezing a mixture of water and a material like cotton wool, grass, hair, shredded paper, wood chips, or sawdust.

This warm weather activity introduces learners to the impact trees have on blocking the sun's heat and reducing temperature on the Earth's surface.

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

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this activity, learners use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

In this activity, learners investigate parallax, a method used to measure distances to stars and planets in the solar system.

In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity demonstrates the shadow of the Earth as it rises as a dark blue shadow above the eastern horizon.

This activity (on pages 10-12 of the PDF) encourages learners to consider what makes living things different from non-living things.

Use this Moon Map Guide to help learners identify features on the Moon, while looking through a telescope.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners construct a simple air pressure launcher for paper rockets.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners use common materials to construct a rain gauge and measure daily, monthly, and yearly rainfall.
