Investigate a flower's power of marketing by making an imitation flower that successfully signals a bee (or other pollinator of your choice) to visit.

In this activity, learners will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.

Discover the wind's direction using bubbles, a map and a keen eye. Learners blow bubbles and note their general direction on a map, taking readings from different points around a building.

This activity (on pages 35-43) lets learners analyze a "herd of elk" to detect the spread of a bacterial disease called brucellosis.

In this activity, learners working in pairs saturate a cotton ball using water drops from an eyedropper to demonstrate the high water capacity of clouds.

This great "re-use it" activity will demonstrate how to transform a greeting card into a box. Once constructed, the box can have many uses like holding special notes or keepsakes.

In this activity, learners investigate how wind can create surface currents and how waves move. Learners also discover how wind can affect oil spills.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

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

In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.

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

In this activity, learners pretend that they are orcas and search for their "pods" using Morse code.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this creativity-based activity, learners imagine what the Earth will look like in the near and distant future, then design their own future habitat and creatures that may live there.

In this activity, learners investigate feeding relationships. Learners complete a food web and then make a mobile to represent a food chain.

In this math lesson, learners practice reading charts and graphs by creating and interpreting glyphs.

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

In this indoor and/or outdoor activity, learners make an anemometer (an instrument to measure wind speed) out of a protractor, a ping pong ball and a length of thread or fishing line.
