In this activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.

In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

In this activity, learners visualize the differences in water density and relate this to the potential consequences of increased glacial melting.

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

In this "Sid the Science Kid" activity from Episode 106: My Mushy Banana, learners explore the effects of decay by comparing and contrasting something (an old pumpkin) that's decayed with the same thi

In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF), learners will play a game using their observation and listening skills, interpreting clues from each other to deduce their secret animal identity.

In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can

In this activity, learners calculate their water usage (in cups and galloons) during an average shower. Learners also chart and analyze water usage during showers in their households.

In this goopy activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity), learners will model glacial movement with “gak,” a white glue and liquid starch mixture.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

In this 6-7 day investigation, learners begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this activity, learners use a microscope to examine three different microbes: bacteria, yeast and paramecia. Educator will need to prepare the yeast solution one day before the activity.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.
