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 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.

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

In this activity, learners make plaster casts of an animal track to learn more about animals and animal behavior.

In this activity, learners take an indoor nature walk and discover various objects that have been brought in from the outdoor environment.

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.
