In this outdoor activity and animal-role-play game, learners discover and uncover the hidden world of "cryptozoa"—organisms such as spiders, salamanders and slugs that live under objects, like rocks a

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this science and language arts activity, learners study fish anatomy and make their very own 3D paper fish.

In this activity, learners design a device to solve a problem: how to get a ball out of a drain pipe.

In this hands-on art and science activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners brainstorm and discuss how humans use wetlands, then express their understanding of the subject in artwork.

In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

In this activity about sleep rhythms (on page 21 of the PDF), learners will collect data about their own sleep cycles and use a fraction wheel to examine their data.

Learners will construct a model of a heart valve using a film canister, a piece of masking tape, and a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.

In this activity, learners build mini-basketball courts using cardboard and measuring spoons. Use this activity to introduce learners to catapults, forces, and levers.

Learners explore how the attractive forces between water molecules create surface tension and allow certain objects to float on the surface of water.

In this two-part activity about the connection between the lupine plant and butterflies, learners first read "Miss Rumphius," a storybook about lupine by Barbara Cooney.

In this activity, learners build a special rolling can that returns back to you when you push it forward. Use this activity to demonstrate the transfer of energy between kinetic and potential energy.

In this activity about physical stress (page 28 of PDF), learners discover that muscles and bones need to work to stay strong.

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.

In this activity about combustion and energy, learners observe a burning candle in a sealed jar and the burning of white sugar.

In this activity, learners experiment with hydrogen peroxide, vinegar, yeast, and baking soda to produce hot and cold reactions. Use this activity to demonstrate exothermic and endothermic reactions.

In this activity, learners make plaster casts of an animal track to learn more about animals and animal behavior.

In this activity about the human heart (on page 5 of the PDF), learners work in teams to simulate the volume of blood moved through the circulatory system by transferring liquid into--and through--a s

In this activity about heart health (on page 34 of the PDF), learners measure their own blood pressure using an electronic blood pressure monitor with a self-inflating cuff (included in cost of materi
