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 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 outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

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.

In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

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.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

In this self-measuring activity, learners measure and record the length of their foot.

In this self-measuring activity, learners observe and record how many times a minute they blink, take a breath, and chew, as well as how many times a minute their heart beats.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

In this coin math activity, learners sort and stack 100 (one hundred) pennies into piles of 5 pennies each, 10 pennies each, and 20 pennies each.

In this activity, learners build their own magnetometer using an empty soda bottle, magnets, laser pointer, and household objects.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
