In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

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

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this environmental science activity about biodiversity, learners play a game to discover the effects of non-native species on an ecosystem.

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

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 fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

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 sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

In this activity, learners observe and describe the physical and behavioral characteristics of insects, including crickets.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this three-part activity, learners explore how waves are formed and why some waves are bigger than others. First, learners observe waves of water in a pan generated by an electric fan.

In this indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

In this activity, learners consider how oil spills behave in the ocean and what impact they have on marine wildlife.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

In this ecology activity, learners make a model water-based ecosystem called a terraqua column. The column (in a large soda bottle) includes pond water, duckweed, sand or gravel, and small snails.

In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.

In this two-part activity about the connection between the lupine plant and butterflies, learners first read "Miss Rumphius," a storybook about lupine by Barbara Cooney.

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.
