In this activity, learners will explore vegetative propagation while preparing food scraps to grow into plants.

In this lesson, learners will understand the concepts behind endangered and extinct animals and develop their own conservation plan to save three endangered species.

In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of magnetic fields by inserting a small, strong magnet into a sphere.

In this activity (p.14-15 of PDF), learners discover the concepts of competition and limiting factors as they relate to plant and animal communities.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

In this activity (p.25 of PDF), learners investigate spores. Mushrooms produce millions of spores which are equivalent to the seeds of plants but without the massive food reserves.

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.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

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

In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making an edible treat. First, learners read "Dinosaur Bones" by Aliki to examine how fossils are formed.

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 geology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners explore how carbonic acid can slowly dissolve limestone and form caves.

In this ecology activity, learners make a model water-based ecosystem called a terraqua column. The column (in a large soda bottle) includes pond water, duckweed, sand or gravel, and small snails.
