Build An Aqueduct
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use the design thinking process to design and build their own aqueduct, or water bridge.
Telescope Treasure Hunt
Source Institutions
This hands-on astronomy activity lets learners hunt for different objects in the night sky that contribute to stellar and planetary formation, using a Treasure List.
Spot the Sunspots
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use binoculars (or a telescope) to identify and track sunspots. If using binoculars, learners need a pair that can be secured on a tripod.
Sawing Away
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.
Logs to Soil
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners cut through and investigate rotten logs and then make log-profile puzzles for each other.
Monitoring Amphibians
Source Institutions
In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.
Creating a Local Field Guide
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners survey living organisms near where they live or go to school, and create a local field guide.
Can Fishing
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.
Clear Water, Murky Water
Source Institutions
How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?
Egg Carton Nursery
Source Institutions
In this activity, young learners will make their own flower seed nursery in an egg carton.
Trail Construction
Source Institutions
In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.
Weather Vane and Anemometer
Source Institutions
In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.
Water Breathers
Source Institutions
In this activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the water currents that aquatic animals create when they breathe, feed, and propel themselves through water.
Wintergreen
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
Bird Watching
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.
A Better Fly Trap
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.
Leapin' Lizards
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners first explore lizard feeding behavior by creating a "lizard rig" to dangle different objects in front of live lizards and see which objects the lizards try to bite.
Root Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate and compare the root systems of plants. Explore how weed and edible plant roots differ, and take a closer look inside with the careful use of a knife!
Shake a Shrub
Source Institutions
This is an activity where learners will discover what types and how many insects live in their own backyard.
