  2. Our popular and free “Science & Nature Activities for Cooped Up Kids” resource provides grade-appropriate science activities, whether students are learning in person, online, or blended. A growing number of fun and interactive lessons are available at: https://www.birds.cornell.edu/k12/science-nature-activities-for-cooped-up-kids/.

  5. Finally, we can offer customized webinars to MnSTA members on topics ranging from nature-based STEM learning, citizen science, and hands-on science investigations. Please reach out to me and we are happy discuss your needs and options.
