In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

Plants need nutrients to grow. This is why we apply fertilizers to grass and food crops. In this activity, learners will explore how fertilizers can affect lakes and other bodies of water.

In this activity, learners smell bottles containing bee pheromone molecules (or herb/spice extracts as a substitute). Bees release these molecules to send messages to each other.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this activity, learners collect, analyze, and interpret information about objects in order to classify them into a cladogram. Use this activity to talk about how scientists classify things.

Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

In this arts and crafts activity about animals and animal characteristics, learners will design animal hats and role-play as animals.

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

In this art meets science activity, learners pack silver, ball-shaped ornaments in a single layer in a box to create an array of spherical reflectors.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

Learners smell balloons filled with different scents to guess what's inside. From this, they infer the presence and motion of scented molecules.

As a long-term project, you can rear monarch butterflies at home or in a classroom.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

Many of the genetic sequences found in the fruit fly genome are similar to those found in humans.

This exercise is designed to teach young learners the different parts of a plant (root, stems, leaves, flowers, fruit, and seeds), the basic functions of each part, and to show that tiny microscopic o

In this activity, learners investigate the olfactory system by conducting several experiments.

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

In this activity, learners explore the possibilities of clay as a natural material.

Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.
