In this activity, young learners go on a walk with caregivers and use their senses to observe nature with the help of scavenger hunt sheet.

In this activity, learners observe the moon each night for a month and draw their observations in a Moon Watch Log.

In this optics activity, learners use a shoebox, colored cellophane and sunlight to "change" the colors of gumballs. Learners will be surprised when the green and blue gumballs appear black!

In this activity on page 13 of the PDF, use a special plastic card that has been painted with a chemical that changes color when it is in UV light.

In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.

In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.
