In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

This game introduces learners to the scale of the greenhouse gas problem, plus technologies that already exist to dramatically reduce our carbon emissions and prevent climate change.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?

In this environmental health activity, learners grow and observe bread mold and other kinds of common fungi over the course of 3-7 days.

In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.

In this ecology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore how to filter contaminated water using a variety of materials.

In this plant science activity, learners role play as vegetables and weeds competing for nutrients.

In this activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the water currents that aquatic animals create when they breathe, feed, and propel themselves through water.

Learners gain an intuitive knowledge of the physical aspects of watersheds by creating their own watershed models.

In this outdoor science/art activity, learners investigate spider webs by using string to create their own spider webs.

In this geography investigation, learners use a nighttime satellite image to observe areas of light across the United States and to identify patterns and spatial distributions of human settlements.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.

In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.

In this four-day activity, learners grow bacteria and/or fungi from a variety of locations and compare the results.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Plants—The Green Machines), learners examine the effects that light and air have on green plants.

In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Northwest Coastal region.

Educator Amy O'Donnell from the American Museum of Natural History guides learners to create a diorama of a coral reef.
