In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

In this activity, learners create a garden in a disposable glove. They learn about the conditions necessary to make the seeds sprout and actively participate in caring for their plants.

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

In this activity, learners explore how water behaves differently when it comes in contact with "nano sand" and regular sand.

In this activity, learners use a flexible magnet as a model for a scanning probe microscope (SPM). They learn that SPMs are an example of a special tool that scientists use to work on the nanoscale.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area and reactivity.

In this demonstration, learners compare the relative sizes and masses of scale models of the planets as represented by fruits and other foods.

In this outdoor activity, learners find, count and compare as many different kinds of animals as they can find in two different areas: a managed lawn and a weedy area.

In this activity, learners use chemistry to “self-assemble” gummy shapes. Learners discover that self-assembly is a process by which molecules and cells form themselves into functional structures.

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, learners construct their own small catapults using simple materials. Learners follow visual instructions to build their launching device.

In this activity, learners build a nanorover model using styrofoam meat trays and a balloon.

In this activity (located on page 7 of PDF), learners explore how Silly Putty was first invented and then attempt to make a batch of their own.

In this activity, learners build edible models of Jupiter and Earth to compare their sizes and illustrate the planets' internal layers.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

In this activity, learners discover the relationship between temperature and pressure in the lower atmospheres of Jupiter and Earth.
