This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish) is a full inquiry investigation into environmental adaptation.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

In this outdoor activity and animal-role-play game, learners discover and uncover the hidden world of "cryptozoa"—organisms such as spiders, salamanders and slugs that live under objects, like rocks a

Learners imagine they are paleontologists in Florida, where they find (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of natural selection and observable traits in a game that can be played at home.

In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories

To convey the concept of how animals adapt to survive, this game asks learners to imagine what adaptations a given animal would need to live in a certain environment—including environments where such

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits), learners will visit a zoo, aquarium, or pet store to view a variety of fish.

In this simulation game, learners play as predators equipped with genetically different “mouths” (utensils) and hunt for “prey” (assorted beans).

In this matchmaking activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Animal Scent Activity), learners will each have a scented cotton ball taped to their shoulder. The scent (e.g.

In this outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.

In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.

In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

In this activity, learners compare their own strength to ants through a series of physical tests.

In this activity, Christina Elson, an archaeologist from the American Museum of Natural History, guides learners as they investigate an "artifact" and record their observations in a field journal.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Baby Dinosaurs Activity) is a full inquiry investigation to determine the age of fossils based on where they are discovered.

What is the optimal environment for hatching brine shrimp? Using a scaffold, learners design and conduct experiments testing the effect of a single abiotic factor on brine shrimp cyst hatch rate.

These math posters have questions written on them, such as: How fast can a cheetah run? or How long can a giant tortoise live? Post these around the room or leave them out for children to explore.
