In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

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 outdoor activity, learners turn the fun of feeding wild birds into an investigation of bird behavior.

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

In this activity, learners observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.

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

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 guide outlines how to plant a garden even if you don't have a yard!

This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Bogs) is a full inquiry investigation into decomposition.

In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore tree structure and biology. Tree products are explored by painitng with fruit.

In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.

In this activity (page 5 of pdf), learners explore the relationships between the shape and structure of a shark's teeth and the food it eats, and then create their own shark tooth from clay.

In this activity, learners make a solar oven. Learners witness the awesome power of the sun to make a yummy treat--a chocolate chip cookie!

In this activity, learners conduct a series of hands-on experiments that demonstrate how the working of plants' veins, known as capillary action, enables water to travel throughout the length of a pla

In this Energy and Environment activity (page 9 of the PDF), learners calculate the mass of a piece of gum, compare it to the mass of the gum's packaging, and then create a bar graph of the results.

In this activity, learners use gumdrops and toothpicks to model the composition and molecular structure of three greenhouse gases: carbon dioxide (CO2), water vapor (H2O) and methane (CH4).

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.
