In this activity, learners develop spatial reasoning skills as they blow bubbles and observe what happens when the bubbles connect.

In this activity, learners play a guessing game to explore classification.

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

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and skeletons. First, learners listen to "Tyrannosaurus Rex" by Daniel Cohen to learn about T. rex dinosaurs specifically.

This is an activity about music, movement, and math. Learners will start a rhythm pattern with 2, 3, or 4 beats. For instance, tap your foot, jump, clap, repeat.

In this activity (11th activity on the page), learners use pennies to test their hearing acuity.

In this health activity, learners create a device so that they not only feel their heartbeat, but also see it, using a straw and some clay.

In this matching activity (3rd activity on the page), learners use their sense of smell to match pairs of opaque containers filled with various smelly items like orange peel, roses, or moth balls.

In this math activity, learners guess which cereals contain the most sugar. Learners use the nutrition labels on the cereal boxes to find the cereal with the least amount of sugar.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this activity, learners use clear nail polish to create a beautiful iridescent pattern on black paper. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

In this activity, learners explore mammal locomotion by constructing flipbooks.

In this activity, learners will build a honeycomb. Learners will investigate how the shape of the honeycomb develops. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

Put math of measurement into lining up — and make waiting in line fun. Choose a size characteristic that learners can physically compare, such as foot length or hair length.

In this activity (located on page 4 of PDF), learners gain insight into the actual size of dinosaurs and practice making estimations and measurements.

In this activity, learners use a simple trick of perspective to dress friends in tiny cutout clothing. Learners make tiny pants out of card stock and tape them to the end of a stick.

In this activity, learners examine their tongue and taste buds.

In this activity, learners will explore how their own eyes work by experimenting with their photoreceptors.
