This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cactus Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into how some desert birds keep their cool.

Learners tour their school or home looking for sources of indoor air pollutants (IAPs).

In this activity, learners will explore trends in shark populations using shark landing data from the National Marine Fisheries Service.

In this math activity, learners collect, organize, and analyze a set of data related to types of animals in the temperate forest.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.

Use the Zoo Calendar (page 1 of PDF) to involve learners in interdisciplinary, whole language, and writing activities about ecological concepts.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.

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

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits), learners will visit a zoo, aquarium, or pet store to view a variety of fish.

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

In this activity, learners create colorful bead bracelets to wear outside while searching for matching colors in plants. Learners will be surprised by the variety of colors in nature.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

In this family or group activity, learners conduct a chromatography experiment to reveal the colors that leaves "hide" under their green pigments.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?
