This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.

In this environmental activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners identify household products that are recyclable and explore the different types of recyclable plastics.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

In this activity, learners set up a night time insect observation station with a light and sheet.

In this activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will investigate the contents of owl pellets. Learners will discover how owls digest their food as well as the kind of animals they eat.

In this activity, learners make homemade journals featuring seashell rubbings. First, learners transfer the texture of a seashell onto a piece of paper using a crayon.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

This activity is a sensory experience that recreates the sounds of a pond at night.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

This activity attempts to clear up the common misconception that deserts are always hot, totally dry, and uninhabitable.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

In this activity, learners examine ways that Native Americans of the Southwest express their relationship with nature through art.

In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover that plants aren't just shoots (stem, branches, leaves, and flowers) growing above ground, but contain plenty of roots growing underground—more than half th

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

This activity is intended to familiarize learners with native Houston birds, introduce learners to tools biologists use in the field, and to enhance their observation skills.
