Activity Options
Connecting the Dots with Constellations
Observe star maps, learn about how the Earth’s position in space determines what constellations we can observe in the night sky, and create a glow-in-the-dark constellation model to take home.
Have Seeds, Will Travel
Observe a variety of seeds and sort them based on how they travel. Then design and test a seed prototype to see if it can travel by wind, water or animal.
Promoting Pollination
Learn about the structures and functions of pollinators and the plants they pollinate. Then design and test a hand pollinator prototype to see if it can pollinate a model flower.
Zooming Into Nature
Use your eyes, hand lenses and microscopes to observe, describe and compare how a variety of natural and designed objects look at different magnifications.
