In this activity learners will create paint out of natural materials. Explore your natural world (or your fridge) and find berries, leaves, or flowers to find a great base for your paint.

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

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

Learners experiment with a commercial photo-sensitive paper (Sunprint® or NaturePrint® paper). They place opaque and clear objects on the paper and expose it to bright light, observing the results.

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 set up a night time insect observation station with a light and sheet.

In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate spider webs and feeding behavior, particularly how spiders trap food in their sticky silk webs while not getting stuck themselves.

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, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!

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

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

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

This activity (9th activity on the page) about hearing demonstrates to learners the importance of having two ears.

An ordinary camera has a lens that makes an image on film. In a pinhole camera, a small hole replaces the lens.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

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.
