In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

Learners follow directions to construct a solar oven that really cooks! The solar oven uses aluminum foil to reflect sunlight into a cooking chamber, which is painted black.

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore dirt and what is in it by painting with mud.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

"Nature of Dye" allows participants to create their own dyes and art while exploring how chemicals interact and how these interactions can have real-world applications.

In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.

In this activity, learners sort different natural phenomena into categories (they occur on Earth, on the Moon, or on both), and then model how energy moves during a quake using spring toys.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore tree structure and biology. Tree products are explored by painitng with fruit.

In this activity, learners try to figure out who has their matching rock type by reading a description of their rock (no talking!).

In this goopy activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will model glacial movement with “gak,” a white glue and liquid starch mixture.

In this activity, learners will create a magnifying glass called a waterscope, using water and household items, to examine various objects.

In this activity, learners explore nonrenewable resources and learn why these resources are finite.
