In this activity, learners make a scale model of the Solar System and learn the real definition of "space." Learners use the online calculator to create an appropriate scale to use as a basis for thei

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

In this outdoor activity, learners make models of homes that might protect small animals from the elements, then search living plants for real structures made by small animals.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.

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 activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, learners evaluate the potential performance of air rockets placed inside a wind tunnel.

In this activity, learners shrink the scale of the vast solar system to the size of their neighborhood.

In this activity (page 87 of the PDF), learners move their bodies to better understand the three axes of rotation: pitch, roll and yaw.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

This is a classic exercise for visualizing the scale of the Solar System.

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

In this activity, learners build a kite out of paper, change it, and try to make it fly even better. With their new knowledge of kite making, students can then go on to create their own kite designs.
