In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this activity, learners build a model of a self-sustaining habitat (growing grass and beans from seeds).

In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

In this two-part activity, learners compare and contrast a variety of life cycles to better understand different organisms and how they develop.

In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.

In this math activity, learners collect, organize, and analyze a set of data related to types of animals in the temperate forest.

In this activity, learners use Styrofoam to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

In this chemistry activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners will learn about crystals by growing their very own.

In this activity, learners carry out a scientific investigation of dust in their classroom. Learners produce an analysis on graph paper of the dust they collect over the course of a few days.

In this activity (on page 6 of the PDF), learners plot the path of the sun's apparent movement across the sky on two days, with the second day occurring two or three months after the first.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make a plastic protein polymer from milk. Adding vinegar to milk causes the protein casein to solidify or curdle.

In this outdoor/indoor activity, learners collect ants and dirt to create an ant farm in a cup that they can observe over time.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

In this activity related to Archimedes' Principle, learners use water displacement to compare the volume of an expanded gummy bear with a gummy bear in its original condition.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

In this activity, learners investigate the movement of water into and out of a polymer. Learners test the diffusion of water through gummy bears, which are made of sugar and gelatin (a polymer).

In this laboratory activity, learners use a simple procedure to bait oomycetes from water and/ or soil and then examine these fungus-like organisms with the microscope to see how they look.

In this activity, learners explore chemistry and the microbial world by making their own sourdough starter and bread at home using only flour and water.
