In this activity (p.7-8 of PDF), learners examine fossil formation.

In this activity, learners test to see if carbon dioxide is present in the air we breathe in and out by using a detector made from red cabbage.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this activity (p.6-10 of PDF), learners use different methods for hunting minibeasts (bugs). Learners can either make traps or simply look for minibeasts under stones and logs.

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this activity, learners play an evolution card game to see how selective pressures can affect an organism's evolution.

In this activity (on pages 2-8), learners experience how scientists use classification in their study of animals.

In this activity, learners create a sealed, mini ecosystem that supplies freshwater shrimp with food, oxygen, and waste processing for at least three months.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate spider webs and feeding behavior, particularly how spiders trap food in their sticky silk webs while not getting stuck themselves.

In this activity, learners play bingo to learn about the diversity of birds. This game includes a warm-up lesson and "Full Flight" version.

In this multi-faceted game (on pages 25-35), learners recreate what happens to creatures in the Brazilian rain forest as they grow from egg to adult—especially those that use fallen, empty Brazil nut

In this activity on page 60, learners examine and simulate wildlife entanglement by experiencing what it might be like to be a marine animal trapped in debris.

Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity.

In this activity, learners determine the necessary conditions for pea seed germination.

In this outdoor, warm weather activity, learners use sweepnets to search a grassy area such as a large lawn or field, collecting small animals to find as many different kinds of animals as possible.

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.
