Learners explore three-dimensional geometric frames including cubes and tetrahedrons, as they create bubble wands with pipe cleaners and drinking straws.

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 activity, learners investigate color vision as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners simulate taking HIV antiretroviral drugs by using Tic Tac mints and Kool-Aid packets.

In this activity, learners sniff out scents hidden in balloons! After investigating, learners discover we sometimes can use another sense (smell) to detect things too small to see.

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 use their imaginations and experiment with different materials to create bug hats.

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

In this activity, learners construct drums out of everyday containers (like bowls or food containers) and shrink wrap. Learners use a hair dryer to affix and tighten the shrink wrap to the container.

In this outdoor game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their senses.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about the "Tyndall effect," the scattering of visible light when it hits very small dispersed particles.

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

Learners complete a series of hands-on and investigative activities to explore cumulus clouds.

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

Audio Boggle is an activity that lets you listen to a track (that you make yourself) and see what you can hear!

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

In this three-part activity, learners conduct simple experiments to see how light refracts and reflects, and how colors of light affect what we see.

In this optics activity, demonstrate diffraction using a candle or a small bright flashlight bulb and a slide made with two pencils.
