In this multi-step experiment (page 4 of pdf), learners study tide pools, and then drop a "wave" (a 4-pound bag of beans or birdseed) on a shell to mimic the force of crashing surf on tide pool animal

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

In this group activity, learners will explore the characteristics, functions and uniqueness of the mangrove tree.

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

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.

In this outdoor fall activity, learners find out what living in or under a layer of leaves is like.

In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.

This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?

In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.

In this plant science activity, learners role play as vegetables and weeds competing for nutrients.

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity), learners will model how a sea turtle population changes over time, from eggs to adults, using puffed rice.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

This activity introduces learners to wolf behavior and communication.

A group of learners simulates the spread of disease by trading slips of paper, one set of which has been treated with a baking soda solution.

Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.
