In this activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will create a food web and explore food sources for different organisms. They will identify relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.

This is part 3 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. Before starting this section, learners must have completed part 1: sedimentary rock and part 2: metamorphic rocks.

In this activity on page 14 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners turn plain pieces of recycled plastic into shrunken works of art.

In this activity, learners construct a home-made journal with simple, everyday materials.

In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

In this activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this outdoor, windy day activity, learners "fly" and race leaves along a line to discover which types of leaves catch the most wind. Which leaves are the best fliers? Why?

In this weather activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners will explore the water cycle through an interactive game.

In this activity, learners "go fishing," then practice ruler use and size/pattern comparison with the animals they catch.

In this outdoor simulation game, learners search for pretend animals called "sticklers" to determine and map where they live (habitat) and how spread out they are in that area (distribution).

In this activity, learners use chocolate to explore how the Sun transfers heat to the Earth through radiation.

Build a fruit fly trap out of a 2-liter plastic bottle and some rotten fruit! Fruit flies are easy to catch in warm weather. Once you catch some, you will be able to see their life cycle up-close.

In this creative outdoor activity, learners invent populations of make-believe organisms and then investigate real populations living in the activity site.

In this activity, learners will explore saturated solutions and discover how crystals form.

In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.

In this activity/demonstration, learners observe what happens when two ping pong balls are suspended in the air by a hair dryer. Use this activity to demonstrate how rain drops grow by coalescence.

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.
