Youth Engagement

Nature Lab is The Nature Conservancy's youth curriculum platform.

Connect With Nature Middle school children birdwatch and learn about the species of birds during the First State National Park's Bioblitz outside Wilmington, Delaware. On May 20 and 21, 2016, the Nature Conservancy and the National Parks Service partnered with National Geographic to execute the First State National Park's first Bioblitz. Over the course of the two-day event, over 800 observations were recording and more than 300 species were identified. More than 30 volunteers, 200 middle and high school students, and 100 community members participated in nature walks, species inventories and educational science experiments. © Devan King/TNC

Nature is the fantastic factory that makes the building blocks of all our lives-food, drinking water, the stuff we own and the air we breathe. That's why The Nature Conservancy and its 1000+ scientists have created Nature Lab: to help students learn the science behind how nature works for us and how we can help keep it running strong.

Wildfires: Impact of Climate Change

The impacts of climate change can be seen in ecosystems in many ways. Some effects can be minor, and some can be more detrimental to the overall health of the ecosystem. Since ecosystems can manage changes well for a certain amount of time, changes can often be seen through long term research. Explore how wildfires leave a measurable impact on an ecosystem.

Ocean Heroes: Coastal Frontline Communities and Climate Justice

The health of the oceans is suffering, and this has affected some of us more than others. Coastal communities, and those who are less-advantaged because they have less access to resources and face increased societal oppression, are more at risk from rising sea levels and storms. But there's some amazing groups working around the world to make change.

Whether or not schools are closing for the Coronavirus, it's likely that U.S. kids will be spending a lot of time indoors in the next couple of months. With that in mind, we rounded up loads of hands-on activities for families to do together at home. Share this with everyone you know who might need it!

Exploring the world around them makes every moment a learning experience for kids. Don't worry about having special bins and objects, there are lots of ways to make sensory tables that work.

Kinetic sand is fascinating to touch, make things with, and talk about. If you've got some lying around, try out some of these fun activities and make up some of your own!

These calm down jars are fun to make, teach kids science, and really truly calm kids down as they watch them settle.

Board games offer fun ways for kids to practice skills. These board games give kids practice with vocabulary, telling time, fine motor skills, and strategy skills.

You probably have a few decks of cards at home. Why not try out some of these games to help kids practice math. The quicker their math recall, the better they'll do as math gets more difficult.

The great thing about dice is that, like dominoes and cards, the formations of dots help kids organize their math thinking. These games are fun for all ages because you can add or remove rules depending on ability.

Sometimes science projects need special materials that can be tough to find, but not these! Check out how many ways you can use food to learn about science. This learning is fun and delicious.

Balloons are great for learning about physics, chemistry, and biology. Try out some of these experiments that help kids think about their breath, energy, and movement.

There are so many ways simple things you might have around the house can be put together to learn about complicated-sounding scientific notions like the laws of force and motion and friction. Trying out some of these experiments will have you all talking like scientists soon.

Bring engineering to life by making paper airplanes, catapults, and more with simple office supplies. Challenge each person in your house to make their own and hold a contest. Winner doesn't do dishes for a week!

It feels like kids don't play the same kinds of games we once played. Here are the rules for how to play all kinds of old-school outdoor games for your driveway, backyard, or maybe even a big playroom.

Pretty much everyone has LEGO bricks sitting someplace in their house. Here's how to use them to practice math skills. There are some really fun ideas in here.

Everyone loves to talk about the weather. Will it be cold, hot, or rainy? Here are some great activities to help you learn more about the weather.
What are your favorite hands-on activities for families? Please share in the comments. Plus, don't forget to read! Check out all of our teacher-approved book lists right here.

HomeSchool SnowSchool!

As of mid-March 2020 the COVID-19 pandemic has caused US school districts to close their doors, and ski areas, parks and non-profit organizations to cease program operations. This means that some of our SnowSchool programs across the nation that were still running at this point in the season (some have already wrapped up their programs) have ceased operations as well. At WWA we understand the seriousness and impact of the current situation, we support the closure of these in-person events/programs and have taken steps as an organization to be the best citizens we can be ( read our full statement here).

We also recognize that with schools and workplaces closed, millions of kids and parents are now at home trying to figure out how to proceed. In an effort to provide some homeschool educational support and a bit of sciency fun in a trying time, we've compiled some of our favorite SnowSchool activities that parents can use at home with their own kids (to ensure proper social distancing). Some of these activities are hands-on and designed to be done in a snow-covered backyard or local park (we believe it important to stay local right now), others can be done online and don't require snow. Where possible the activities have videos to introduce them and corresponding example activity/curriculum guides. Please keep in mind we pulled this web page together on short notice in response to the pandemic. Many of these resources are pilots and rough drafts of activities we recently designed for professional educators. We've launched them now and made them available to everyone in the hopes that they will be helpful to at least a few families during this difficult time. And if you are interested in starting an official SnowSchool site in your community once things settle down, click here to learn more.

And we'd love your thoughts/comments/suggestions! If you used any of these activities please click on this feedback link to send us your ideas for how to improve these resources! We hope to be posting more activities soon!

As always, there's no cost to be a SnowSchool site or to use our resources. That's how we ensure that every winter we can bring the program to the thousands of diverse kids who need it the most. We are incredibly grateful to our donors, supporters and program partners who make SnowSchool possible.

You could win these MSR snowshoes!

Kim Jones McClelland, a principal in our Principal Life group on Facebook, shared teacher Wade Whitehead's brilliant ideas for things to do during COVID closures that is now going viral, for good reason! We've added links and more ideas to these low-tech kid activities that are great for elementary kids (although I know some middle schoolers who could learn a lot from #4!).

1. Interview a family member.

Taking the time out to learn more about the people in your family might surprise your children. Get them to dig deep and think about their questions and their responses. Save these interviews so you can read them again.

2. Measure the area and perimeter of each room in your home.

This is a math skill everyone needs to know how to do. Bonus points if they do the windows too so they'll know what size curtains would work!

3. Graph the types of birds that frequent your yard or windows.

Bird watching is fascinating for everyone. Check out these tips for identifying birds. Once you've tracked your birds, make a graph to show how many of each kind were in your backyard during a certain period of time.

4. Be completely silent for 60 minutes, then write about the experience.

In a world where there are so many distractions, it's amazing what we notice when we're silent.

5. Write and mail a [real] letter to your teacher or principal or classroom pen pal. Address the envelope yourself.

Learning to write a letter and address an envelope is important even in the age of email. The thrill of getting a letter in the mail cannot be overestimated.

6. Build a "fable fort" out of blankets and chairs. Camp in it all day while you create stories to tell your family over dinner.

Human beings love telling stories. What's a fable? Learn about them and read some here.

7. Learn Morse Code and use it to communicate with your siblings through walls and floors.

It's pretty fun (and clever) to use Morse Code as a way to keep messages hidden.

8. Alphabetize the spices in your kitchen.

Think only books can be alphabetized? The cook in your family will appreciate an organized spice cabinet.

9. Stay up late and stargaze.

When you don't have to go to school in the morning, it can be okay to stay up late once in a while. Stretch out and watch the stars. If kids are curious about them, show them how to learn more.

10. Call a grandparent or older relative. Ask them to teach you the words to a song from their childhood days.

Just like #1, this is something that can really help kids learn more about the people in their lives.

Use this quiet time to tinker and consider how things are made.

12. Determine and chart the times that different liquids require to turn solid in the freezer.

You know that game where kids blindfold each other and then do taste tests with things like hot sauce and beet juice? This one is less messy, or likely to start sibling arguments.

13. Design and build puppets that perform a show about multiplication.

Thinking about things in new ways drives new learning. It'll be fun to get puppets teaching about math, and really nothing helps kids solidify their understanding than teaching someone else.

14. Construct a family tree.

Make this one wide-open and out of the box. Challenge your kids to create any kind of tree they want and include anyone who they consider to be family.

15. Learn ten new big words. Write them in marker on your bathroom mirror.

Don't worry, marker comes off mirrors easily. Meanwhile, yay for big words like: ubiquitous, flippant, and redundant.

16. Draw a map of your home and neighborhood.

In addition to be an important part of understanding how maps work, this activity helps kids define their world. Bonus tip: choose a safe place near your home on the map to meet family members in an emergency.

17. Sit silently for 15 minutes while you write down every sound you hear. When you are done, classify the sounds (high/low pitch, high/low volume, manmade v. naturally occurring, etc.).

Number 4 started kids off paying attention to silence. In this activity, let's get kids making comparisons.

18. Create a Venn Diagram that compares and contrasts two people connected to you in anyway.

Understanding that people who seem very different may have a lot of similarities shifts our perspective and creates room for kindness and understanding.

19. Learn, practice, and perform a magic trick.

From the bendable spoon to the floating card trick, learning magic tricks takes practice. But, when magic works, it's the best.

20 Learn, practice, and tell three new jokes.

Everyone is going to need to laugh in the coming days of social distancing. Here are some jokes to get them started.

21. Use household materials to make and play stringed, percussion, and wind instruments.

Making instruments can be as easy as banging on a pot with a spoon, or you can try out these other ways to make instruments out of household goods.

22. Learn to shine a pair of shoes.

Shining shoes used to be more common when people wore sneakers only to do exercise, but it's important to take care of the things you own.

23. Collect leaves from ten different (non-harmful) plants. Sort them by size, color, and texture.

Go outside and find ten different leaves and then compare them!

24. Put your favorite book, toy, and keepsake on a small table in sunlight. Draw or paint a full color still life.

This is a great way to express your love for something. For a variation on this, try out different ways to paint the still life "like" a famous artist.

25. Find, pick, and dissect a flower.

Think and act like a scientist when you choose a flower and carefully take apart its parts. Not sure what every part is? Check out this site to learn more about dissecting a flower.

26. If you have stairs, walk up and count them. Walk down and count by twos. Walk up and count by threes. Continue through tens.

This simple math practice trick gets kids thinking about numbers and exercising!

27. Determine the volumes of ten containers, them display them in order on your porch.

Not sure how to determine volume? Learn more about measuring volume here.

28. Write a poem on your sidewalk using chalk.

Writing poetry is freeing because there aren't a lot of rules. Or you can establish a rule and see how different people think about it. For example, write a poem about snow without using the words white or cold.

29. Classify twenty everyday objects by shape, size, color, height, mass, and material.

Learning how to classify and organize things is a skill that's helpful for reading, math, science, and history. In other words-everything.

30. Measure the length of your bed using five different nonstandard units.

My bed is 126 pieces of sea glass long, how long is yours?

31. Call a person who speaks a language you do not. Ask them to teach you five common words or phrases.

If you can't do this, change your tv shows to a different language and try to figure out what is happening.

32. Create and use a secret code.

In #7, we worked with Morse Code, now make up your own code. Send people messages in code, have them figure it out, and write back!

33. Using one type of paper (constant), build three different paper airplanes (independent variable) and test to see how far they fly (dependent variable).

34. Set a clock three hours and seven minutes ahead. Whenever someone needs to know the time, help them figure it out by subtracting.

This is both irritating and totally fun. Maybe -3 hrs 07 min can be your new family time zone!

35. Write down every adjective you say for one full day.

Depending on how much your child talks during the day, this might take a while.

36. Color in a map with every state you (or your family) ever visited.

Not only is it important to know where all the states are located, but this is a great way to set travel goals. Try this map for a digital one.

37. Write or tell a story titled "What if humans had to leave the Earth and no one remembered to turn off the last robot?"

Try using some read alouds like The Wild Robot by Peter Brown as a jumping off point.

38. Find ten rocks smaller than a dime.

Kids have the best eyes for this kind of thing. Give them each a dime so they can compare and an old yogurt container to hold the rocks.

39. Using paper, tape, and string, design, build, and test a device that warns you when someone opens the kitchen cabinet.

Developing ideas that can be helpful for human beings is one of the best skills we can develop in kids. If you want to dig a little deeper, teach them about engineering design to help them plan and execute.

40. Imagine, create, and fly a full size flag that tells the world about you.

Everyone deserves to fly their own flag. Talk to kids about symbols and give them the creative stuff they need create their own flag: markers, crayons, paper, fabric, glitter, glue.
There's going to be a lot of time to fill in the coming weeks, but no one needs to be bored. We hope these ideas give you lots to think about. We'd love to hear about other things to do during COVID closures, too! Please share in the comments. Plus, more hands-on activities kids can do at home.
