With stunning photography, succinct step-by-step instructions, and detailed explanations, DK Smithsonian Maker Lab: Outdoors invites readers on a journey of discovery. Projects focus on Earth and the environment, plants and animals, rocks and minerals, and space, bringing science learning out of the classroom and into the laboratory of the natural world. Young scientists can make a cave system and find out about underground rivers, construct a working model of tectonic plates and learn about earthquakes, build a telescope and look to the planets and stars, and lots more.

Supporting STEAM education initiatives and the Maker Movement, this book includes interactive projects to help kids realize with their hands what they can imagine in their minds.
