In this activity, learners use coverslips to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

In this activity, learners create a three-dimensional sculpture while examining the characteristics of fish.

In this activity, learners will conduct an experiment to discover methods of reventing foot mold growth on food.

In this activity (on pages 19-21 of the PDF) learners observe mold growing on potatoes. Preparation for this activity has to start a week before, to allow time for the mold to grow on the potatoes.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore dirt and what is in it by painting with mud.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

In this activity, learners will explore the physics of air by making a snake kite.

Learners design different shaped bandages for different purposes. First, they draw their designs on paper.

In this activity, learners will construct a measuring device (snake "string") to improve their observation skills.

In this craft activity, learners will explore the structure and purpose of antelope horns by constructing their own headband using toilet paper rolls and yarn.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.

In this experiment, learners isolate Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) from onion cells using a simple extraction procedure.

Birds' beaks are designed to allow birds to get the most of whatever food they need. In this activity, learners get an idea of how different beak shapes suit different food sources.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover that plants aren't just shoots (stem, branches, leaves, and flowers) growing above ground, but contain plenty of roots growing underground—more than half th
