This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.

This design challenge is an open-ended exploration of linkages, a group of parts connected by hinges, and the types of motion they can create.

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

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

This resource contains ideas and brief instructions on how to build animals out of construction paper and other simple materials.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

In this activity, learners make homemade journals featuring seashell rubbings. First, learners transfer the texture of a seashell onto a piece of paper using a crayon.

This activity (on pages 38-43) has learners simulate the way scientists track and map the movement of otters in the wild using radio trackers.

In this activity about living things and gravity (page 5 of PDF), learners design and build an exoskeleton or an endoskeleton for an animal of their own invention.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this activity, learners explore the gait of horses by constructing flipbooks with British photographer Eadweard Muybridge's famous photographs.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into testing a repair material.

This PDF contains 12 calendars (12 months). Each month contains activities about math. Things to do on familiar holidays (like July 4), less common holidays (like Backward Day), and any day.
