Feed the Birds
Source Institutions
Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.
Damsels and Dragons
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys
Extra Bounce
Source Institutions
In this indoor or outdoor demonstration, use a large and small ball to illustrate conservation of energy and momentum.
Helicopters
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe how air interacts with a paper helicopter. Learners will test different variables of weight, size, and shape.
Backard Bioblitz Bonanza
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe and record living things with in outlined outside space.
Scent Tracking
Source Institutions
In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.
Self-Portrait Silhouettes: Activity 2
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!
Learning the Land
Source Institutions
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.
Build A Dinosaur Nest
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.
Trash Traits
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.
Big Sun, Small Moon
Source Institutions
Learners will explore the concept of angular distance, and investigate why the moon appears to be the same size as the sun during a solar eclipse, despite the sun being much larger.
Moon and Stars
Source Institutions
In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.
Bring it into Focus
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF), learners play with a lens and a piece of paper to focus an image on the paper. Learners look at different things, and see how the lenses affect the image.
Make a UV Detector
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use tonic water to detect ultraviolet (UV) light from the Sun and explore the concept of fluorescence.
Telescope Treasure Hunt
Source Institutions
This hands-on astronomy activity lets learners hunt for different objects in the night sky that contribute to stellar and planetary formation, using a Treasure List.
Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.
Invent a Plant
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.
Exploding Baggie
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners will experiment with a basic chemical reaction and observe what happens when gas gets trapped! Activity includes step-by-step instructions, safety notes and more.
Discovery Time: Turtles
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore turtle basic adaptations and biology. Turtle external anatomy is explored by "building" a turtle with a nature collage.
Sock Garden
Source Institutions
In this activity (located in the middle of the page), learners start a garden by planting their socks!
