In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.

In this activity, learners will explore the roles of different animals in the food chain. They will create their own food chain using organisms of their choice.

In this activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will create a food web and explore food sources for different organisms. They will identify relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

In this two-part activity, learners explore the Earth and Sun's positions in relation to the constellations of the ecliptic with a small model.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

This activity attempts to clear up the common misconception that deserts are always hot, totally dry, and uninhabitable.

In this activity, learners observe mixtures of sand samples glued to note cards, and consider how sand can differ in size, shape, and color, and where it comes from.

In this activity, learners create handmade animal track stamps. Learners research animal tracks, draw the shapes on moleskin, and then stick the shapes onto blocks of wood to make stamps.

Learners explore how recyclers take advantage of the different properties of materials, such as magnetism and density, to separate them from a mixture.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore how a surprising number of animals use human-made litter, such as cans and crumpled paper, to find food and shelter in their environment.

Learners use chromatography to separate and analyze the mixture of pigments in leaves. Use this activity to discuss photosynthesis as well as why leaves change color in autumn.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.

In this activity, learners will explore how animal in cold areas stay warm.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.
