In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore flower and plant biology and pollination by planting seed in a homemade seed starter.

An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

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

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

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 wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

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

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

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore dirt and what is in it by painting with mud.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover that plants aren't just shoots (stem, branches, leaves, and flowers) growing above ground, but contain plenty of roots growing underground—more than half th

In this outdoor activity, learners build bird nests and place them in the activity area, then play the role of naturalists as they try to locate each other's nests.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

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

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore tree structure and biology. Tree products are explored by painitng with fruit.

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