In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this arts and crafts activity about animals and animal characteristics, learners will design animal hats and role-play as animals.

In this art meets science activity, learners pack silver, ball-shaped ornaments in a single layer in a box to create an array of spherical reflectors.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

In this activity about dinosaurs, learners explore how and why fossils form. First, learners are introduced to dinosaur fossils by reading the book "Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones" by Byron Barton.

In order to examine the random nature of mutations and natural selection, learners "breed" clutches of Egyptian Origami Birds (Avis papyrus) using random number generators (dice and coins) to mutate s

In this activity, learners make a photographic image—without a camera!

In this activity, learners create handmade animal track stamps. Learners research animal tracks, draw the shapes on moleskin, and then stick the shapes onto blocks of wood to make stamps.

In this activity, learners create a three-dimensional sculpture while examining the characteristics of fish.

Scientists use enormous wind tunnels to test the design of planes, helicopters, even the Space Shuttle.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of rotational equilibrium. Learners work in teams to estimate and determine the force within a mobile design.

In this activity, early learners create paintings by making music and rhythm. Learners place paper in cans, add paint-soaked beans (or pebbles) and put the tops on.

In this activity, learners use beads, which represent amino acids, to create protein bracelets. Learners examine the relationship between amino acids and proteins.

In this STEAM activity, learners create a "pixel tube" to explore reflections of light and color mixing.

In this hands-on art activity, learners will study and identify features of the external anatomy of a fish.

In this activity, learners make balloon models of disease-causing bacteria.

In this activity, learners will explore nature by creating food for birds. Learners will develop fine motor skills and engage in nature observation through this activity.
