In this outdoor activity, learners dig for and collect isopods (sometimes known as "roly-poly bugs" or "potato bugs" and other names).

Using toothpicks, straws, or tubes of rolled up newspaper, learners create 3-dimensional models to illustrate the basic structure and function of the cell membrane, and place an object inside to repre

In this activity on page 3 of the PDF, learners visualize the relative size and structural differences between microbes that have the potential to cause disease.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.

In this outdoor activity, learners make models of homes that might protect small animals from the elements, then search living plants for real structures made by small animals.

Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

In this outdoor activity, learners build bird nests and place them in the activity area, then play the role of naturalists as they try to locate each other's nests.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this playful activity, learners explore the structure of the cell—the basic unit of every living organism—by creating a model of cell structures using soap bubbles, and by examining a slice of onio

In this hands-on nature activity, learners observe the emergence of leaves and flowers. Branches from trees and bushes are collected in the early spring, brought indoors, and placed in water.

In this matching activity, learners play a game where they match words to the corresponding body parts of an antelope's basic anatomy.
