Super Soaking Materials
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.
Give or Take?
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.
Cardboard Opaque Projector
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a projector out of cardboard to view their favorite images (such as storybook illustrations) on the wall.
Otter Smorgasbord
Source Institutions
In this graphing activity (on pages 33-40), learners investigate how much and what kinds of food sea otter pups eat during their first year of life.
Cardboard Box Camera Obscura
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a device that projects images onto a surface, so they can trace landscapes and other sights.
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.
Heart Rate and Exercise
Source Institutions
In this activity about heart health (on page 27 of the PDF), learners measure their heart rates after a variety of physical activities and compare the results with their resting heart rates, and with
The Power of Graphene
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on graphene and its electrical properties and applications.
