Habitat Observations
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.

Beyond Dominoes: Polyominoes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners add squares to paper dominoes to make polyominoes.

Deep Sea Diver
Source Institutions
In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

Exploring Structures
Source Institutions
This event guide features three related explorations in which learners investigate the following science concepts: how you design and build a structure helps determine how strong it will be; different

Series and Parallel Circuits
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners demonstrate and discuss simple circuits as well as the differences between parallel and serial circuit design and functions.

A Hurricane's Storm Surge Affects our Estuaries
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

Lift Experiment
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners investigate how the size of a wing affects lift. Learners count the number of pennies an egg crate plane wing can hold until the plane will no longer fly.

Minibot
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a mini dancing robot. This engineering activity introduces learners to electricity, circuits, switches, conductivity, and motors.

The Variety and Roles of Microbes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use sets of cards to assign microorganisms to different groups.

The Senses of "Unknown Creatures"
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.

Outbreak!: Investigating Epidemics
Source Institutions
A group of learners simulates the spread of disease by trading slips of paper, one set of which has been treated with a baking soda solution.

Cardiac Hill
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

Exploring Shadows
Source Institutions
This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan

Giant Chromosomes: Fruit Fly DNA and You
Source Institutions
Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

Five-Layer Density Column
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners can create five-layer density columns by employing one of three (or all) methods.

Workin' It Out
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

Robot Body Language
Source Institutions
In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

Invent an Animal
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

Beginning Statistical Inquiries into the Scientific Method: Jelly-Side-Down
Source Institutions
This activity allows learners to explore the scientific method in an open-ended fashion, using the 4-P Approach to Science Inquiry developed by the University of Wisconsin, Beloit.

The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.
