In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this two part activity, learners become draft detectives by constructing their own draft catchers to detect drafts around windows or doors.

In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

In this water activity, learners discover ways to move water across the water table.

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

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

In this online activity, learners find out whether they are smart enough to survive as a plant.

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.

In this activity, learners compare water pressure at different depths. Learners discover that water pressure increases with depth.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

In this engineering/design activity, learners make a kite, fly it, and then work to improve the design. Learners explore how their kite design variations affect flight.

In this activity, learners separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, learners will engineer a roof using simple materials to protect a construction paper person from a rainstorm.

In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.
