Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

This activity generates learner excitement about light through the creation of a room-sized rainbow.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and skeletons. First, learners listen to "Tyrannosaurus Rex" by Daniel Cohen to learn about T. rex dinosaurs specifically.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

This activity attempts to clear up the common misconception that deserts are always hot, totally dry, and uninhabitable.

In this activity, learners use maps to locate the Arctic region and use a word game to discover the types of resource people need to survive in the extreme climate.

This marine biology activity (on pages 11-17) introduces learners to kelp (seaweed) forests that grow in the ocean and are home to many species of sea animals.

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this activity, learners explore the Great Plains.

In this activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners build a model of a tide pool, using chicken wire, paper mache, and other craft materials.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their senses.

This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.

This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.
