In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

In this activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

In this activity, learners are divided into teams.

Learners explore their surroundings while reasoning about categories and counting.
