In this activity, learners will investigate air and gravity through the use of various fabrics by through them in the air. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

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

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 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 use a simple 3D model to discover why the Moon has phases.

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

In this activity, learners explore and compare the buoyant properties of materials found in nature and in human-made materials.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of insulation by trying to keep Olaf the Snowman from melting. This activity encourages critical thinking and problem solving.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

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.

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 are challenged to build a bird feeder using recycled materials from home and are encouraged to problem solve during the extensions.
