Keeping a Field Journal
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

Light Quest
Source Institutions
Learners test their "light-smarts" by playing a game called "Light Quest!" The game board represents an atom and each player represents an electron that has been bumped into the atom's outer unstable

Arctic Story Puzzles
Source Institutions
This activity has three story puzzles learners can solve to learn about life in the Arctic.

Map Your World
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners map their world by drawing a plan of their bedroom.

Edible Earth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a model of the solid Earth's layers that's good enough to eat! Learners use tasty foodstuffs to simulate Earth's inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.

Make a DNA Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

Lava Layers
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 11-12 of PDF) learners create models of lava layers that have formed on the moon.

Draw Your Nervous System
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work together to create a life-sized drawing of the human nervous system.

Web of Life Game
Source Institutions
In this game, learners each represent a different organism in an environment. They build a web during the activity, and discover how all the players in an ecosystem depend on each other.

The Legend of the Flying Frog
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners listen to a story about a made-up endangered species--a flying frog! Learners print out six story pages and then draw the pictures and write the captions.

Build the Big Dipper
Source Institutions
Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.

Atomic Mobile
Source Institutions
Learners make a mobile model of a carbon atom using clay, wire, and pipe cleaners.

Slowing the Flow
Source Institutions
In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

Space Jell-O
Source Institutions
Albert Einstein proved that space bends around anything that has mass. This activity uses Jell-O's ability to bend around objects as a model for space bending around planets and stars.

Crazy Camouflage
Source Institutions
In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.
