Explore the effects of gravity on a slowly falling object: a parachute you make out of plastic bags, string and stones.

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.

In this activity, learners will explore reptile biology by taking temperature readings in various places and comparing them.

In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

This activity demonstrates the importance of wearing a helmet to protect the brain. An egg is used to symbolize a head with the shell as the skull and the inside of the egg as the brain.

In this outdoor activity, learners become beachcombers as they walk on a sandy beach in search of evidence of life.

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

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

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners make 3-dimensional models of the Earth and Moon.

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

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

In this activity, learners use an astrolabe to measure the altitude of objects. Learners will first practice taking measurements by measuring the altitude of trees and buildings.

In this meteorological activity, learners get to build their very own anemometer (instrument for measuring wind speed) using a paper cup.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

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

Make impact craters with marbles (or rocks or washers) in a container of flour. Find out what you can learn about your "comets" by the craters they make.

In this indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.
