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

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

In this activity, learners make their own rock candy. Crystals will grow from a piece of string hanging in a cup of sugar water. The edible crystals may take up to a week to form.

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

In this construction activity, students use a 2-liter bottle to build a fly trap.

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

In this simple activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a crystal garden using salt, water, and a brick.

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 will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.

Learners observe and compare the sizes of three toy “growing” crocodiles made from water-absorbent polymers. One is it its original state, dry, hard, and about 10cm long.

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.

In this chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners corrode a penny in a cup with vinegar, salt water, and a source of iron (nails, paper clips, or twist ties).

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

In this yummy chemistry activity which requires adult supervision, learners use sugar and water to explore how crystals form.

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

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a plastic protein polymer from milk. Adding vinegar to milk causes the protein casein to solidify or curdle.

In this outdoor/indoor activity, learners collect ants and dirt to create an ant farm in a cup that they can observe over time.

In this nutrition activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will record their food consumption for one day, and then evaluate how their actual diet matched up with the recommended diet.

In this activity, learners explore chemistry and the microbial world by making their own sourdough starter and bread at home using only flour and water.

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