This is an activity to do when there is a solar eclipse!

In this activity, learners explore the concept of insulation by trying to keep Olaf the Snowman from melting. This activity encourages critical thinking and problem solving.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

In this activity, learners observe and describe the physical and behavioral characteristics of insects, including crickets.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this activity, learners will see how UV light affects colors over time by making their own sunprint on construction paper.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

This activity demonstrates liquefaction, the process by which some soils lose their solidity during an earthquake.

In this graphing exercise (page 2 of the pdf), learners compare their own height to the length of various sharks.

In this demonstration/experiment, learners discover that different colors and materials (metals, fabrics, paints) radiate different amounts of energy and therefore, cool at different rates.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into mapping the underground “plumbing” of geysers.

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

In this activity, learners will explore how animal in cold areas stay warm.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this simulation activity, learners will raise a pack of wolves under ten different conditions: without human interference and with human interference.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.
