This activity is intended to familiarize learners with native Houston birds, introduce learners to tools biologists use in the field, and to enhance their observation skills.

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 gain knowledge about how carbon moves through all four of the Earth’s major spheres (biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, and lithosphere), and understand how humans influenc

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners explore the 3Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle) by rotating through several activity stations.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

In this activity, learners test and compare the physical properties of thermoplastic polymers. Learners compare different plastics based on their color, degree of transparency, texture, and density.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast different forms of luminescence by observing how chemiluminescence, phosphorescence, and fluorescence produce or emit light.

In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.

Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.

In this activity, learners construct possible food webs for six different ecosystems as they learn about the roles of different kinds of living organisms.

In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

In this yummy activity about soil (page 9 of PDF), learners will create layers of soil using food. They will learn about the composition and role of each layer.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

Learners work as a group to create a map of their community. They use pasta to represent people, and glue the pasta on their maps to show areas of large population.

In this creative activity, learners will practice looking carefully to observe details and to become familiar with dioramas as a method for displaying naturalistic scenes.

In this activity, learners create their own bird species using arts and crafts materials. The bird call recordings are not online so the introduction activity can't be done, but everything else can.

In this activity, learners compare the ways of life of Plains Native Americans who hunted and moved frequently to follow the buffalo herds, and Native Americans who farmed and lived in more permanent

In this outdoor game, learners role play populations linked in a food chain.

In this activity, learners explore the Great Plains.

In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.
