In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

Dig a hole, line it, fill it with fresh water, and you have a water hole: a good place to study colonization.

Plants need nutrients to grow. This is why we apply fertilizers to grass and food crops. In this activity, learners will explore how fertilizers can affect lakes and other bodies of water.

In this activity (Page 30 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by conducting sedimentation tests on different flours.

In this activity, learners collect, analyze, and interpret information about objects in order to classify them into a cladogram. Use this activity to talk about how scientists classify things.

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.

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for lichen, a combination of a fungus and an alga living together. Lichen grow where most other plants cannot, on rocks, the trunks of trees, logs and sand.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.

Learners will build a lung model to understand how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe.

In this activity, learners will review the functions of basic digestive organs, understand how diet affects digestion, understand how digestive tracks may differ, and then step outside to compare the

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.
