Underground Garden

What plants and animals live above the ground? Which can you find under the soil? Imagine a garden teeming with life!

The Greenhouse Effect In A Jar

This simple experiment serves as an introduction to the greenhouse effect. Students can see for themselves the effects of a greenhouse, and relate this understanding to what occurs in our atmosphere.

The Earth Bowl

Scientists know that the earth is made of four layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust. See “Ideas for Discussion,” #1. The Earth Bowl is a three dimensional, edible representation of the earth in cross section. (If time allows, have children participate in measuring the ingredients and constructing the Bowl.)

Spring Springs

Create realistic flowers from construction paper and recycled items to show what you know about the parts of a flower.

Playful Pinwheels

Celebrate the warm winds of spring with a colorful, breezy pinwheel!
