In this activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity, learners write invisible messages on goldenrod paper, and make the message appear and disappear using acids and bases.

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.

In this creative activity, learners will practice looking carefully to observe details and to become familiar with dioramas as a method for displaying naturalistic scenes.

In this activity, learners explore the real science behind an egg drop "magic trick." Learners will wow their families by harnessing gravity, friction and motion to make 3 eggs fall off of their pedes

In this activity, learners build a toy that flies in circles. This activity introduces learners to center of mass, torque, and rotational motion.

How many colors make black? Gather as many water soluble black markers as you can find.

In this activity, learners create a tornado in a bottle to observe a spiraling, funnel-shaped vortex. A simple connector device allows water to drain from a 2-liter bottle into a second bottle.
