This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners use star maps (included) to find constellations and to identify stars with extrasolar planets (Northern Hemisphere only, naked eye).

Working in teams of four, learners build tetrahedral kites following specific instructions and using specific materials.

In this outdoor activity, learners become beachcombers as they walk on a sandy beach in search of evidence of life.

An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

In this activity, learners construct speedy vehicles made out of paper plates and powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

In this activity, learners investigate wind by comparing the force of wind in different locations. Learners build wind-o-meters out of wooden sticks and strips of paper.

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.

In this laboratory exercise, learners will discover how many different plant hosts they can find that are infected by the same genus of a powdery mildew fungus, or how many different genera of powdery

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

In this sunny day, outdoor activity, learners observe changes in shadows over time. The activity also helps to develop a sense of the Earth's motion.

In this activity, learners make acid/base indicator paper, place the indicator paper on an anthill, disturb a bunch of ants, and then observe what happens!

In this activity, learners explore conservation of energy by experimenting with a solar cell light device.

Have you ever heard of a camera without a lens? In this activity, learners create a pinhole camera out of simple materials. They'll see the world in a whole new way: upside down and backwards!

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

In this outdoor activity, learners build bird nests and place them in the activity area, then play the role of naturalists as they try to locate each other's nests.

In this outdoor science/art activity, learners investigate spider webs by using string to create their own spider webs.
