In this outdoor activity, learners turn the fun of feeding wild birds into an investigation of bird behavior.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

This simple activity uses paper and scissors to convey two key concepts to learners: the nanoscale is very small and working on the nanoscale requires special tools.

In this story time program, young learners listen to the Dr.

In this activity/demo, learners examine a synthetic gecko tape with micron sized hairs that mimics the behavior of the gecko foot.

In this activity, learners build magnetic towers to explore the forces and properties of magnets.

In this activity about bones (page 12 of PDF), learners investigate and compare the weight-bearing capacity of solid and hollow cylinders.

In this activity, learners build a cuica or chirping bird using straw, string, and a bottle cap. Use this activity to explore the interplay of motion and sound.

In this earth science activity, learners conduct a series of short experiments to explore how rocks change.

In this activity, learners work in teams to build and test paper airplanes. Learners try to fly their airplanes directly on the runway and earn points for accuracy.

In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.

In this activity, learners will investigate the sounds of the heart.

In this chemistry activity, learners transform two ingredients (4% polyvinyl alcohol solution and 4% borax solution) into gooey slime.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity, learners build styrofoam boats powered by twisted rubber bands.

In this activity, learners transform everyday milk into small plastic figurines and jewelry. Use this activity to introduce learners to monomers and polymers.

In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Northwest Coastal region.

In this craft activity, learners will compare and contrast the major functions of plants and animals.

In this activity, learners find out what happens when they cover leaves with pieces of black construction paper. This activity shows learners that plants need sunlight to survive.

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.
