How Plants Grow
Source Institutions
In this biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will explore how plants turn sunlight into food through a process called photosynthesis.

Composting Bioreactor
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 19 of the PDF) learners will create a soda bottle bioreactor by exploring the science of composting, comparing variables such as reactor design, moisture content, and nutrient r

An Apple as Planet Earth
Source Institutions
In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

How Are Soils Classified?
Source Institutions
In this activity about soil (page 7 of the PDF), learners will use their sense of touch as well as sight to understand how soil is classified based on texture and other details.

Candy Dish Natural Selection
Source Institutions
In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

Catch the Wind
Source Institutions
In this weather activity (page 1 of the PDF), learners will construct their very own anemometer to measure wind speed.

Owl Pellets
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will investigate the contents of owl pellets. Learners will discover how owls digest their food as well as the kind of animals they eat.

Earthquake Energy
Source Institutions
In this geology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners simulate an earthquake with little more than an elastic band and drinking straws.

Solar Energy
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 11 of PDF), learners compare the air pressure within a dark and a light bottle both heated by the sun, and discover that solar energy can be collected and stored in many ways

Edible Soil
Source Institutions
In this yummy activity about soil (page 9 of PDF), learners will create layers of soil using food. They will learn about the composition and role of each layer.

Giving Water the Treatment
Source Institutions
In this ecology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore how to filter contaminated water using a variety of materials.

Weathering and Erosion
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 13 of the PDF), learners discover how weathering and erosion change the Earth’s surface.

Soda Pop Cave
Source Institutions
In this geology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners explore how carbonic acid can slowly dissolve limestone and form caves.

The Effects of Acid Rain
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.

Bird Watching
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.

Food Chains
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore the roles of different animals in the food chain. They will create their own food chain using organisms of their choice.

What's for Dinner?
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will create a food web and explore food sources for different organisms. They will identify relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.

Wrap It Up!
Source Institutions
