Learners trace, cut out and fly a boomerang, outdoors or in a large indoor space.

In this activity learners create patterns of hair beads.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

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.

Learners discover the bubble power of living cells in this multi-hour experiment with baker's yeast. Learners make a living yeast/water solution in a bottle, and add table sugar to feed the yeast.

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

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

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

Your heart pumps blood throughout your body in one direction, around in a loop. In this activity, learners will make a model of one type of heart chamber called a ventricle.

In this activity, learners get a closer look at the shape of a drop of water and a drop of oil. Learners first drip water onto wax paper and examine the shape of separate drops from a side view.
