Rocks are made of minerals, and minerals often have crystal shapes. In this fun activity about geometry in nature, learners create their own crystal shapes out of paper.

In this easy chemistry activity, learners submerge pennies in different liquids (water, lemon juice, vinegar, liquid hand soap, salt water, and baking soda mixed with water) to observe which best clea

In this activity, learners use multiple thermometers, placed at different angles, and a lamp to investigate why some places on Earth's surface are much hotter than others.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this activity, learners use squares to figure out how many border tiles are needed to enclose different areas.

In this activity learners create patterns of hair beads.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

In this outdoor activity, learners find, count and compare as many different kinds of animals as they can find in two different areas: a managed lawn and a weedy area.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this activity, learners make scale models of the Sun and Earth out of paper mache.

In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

In this craft activity, learners create a string of cut-out moons and stars.

This game for one to four players uses a deck of cards to develop mental addition skills.

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.
