In this exercise and nutrition activity, learners will explore how food is the fuel that powers them. They will create a chart to figure out how many calories they burn during recess.

In this outdoor game, learners role play populations linked in a food chain.

In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.

In this outdoor game, learners play the roles of gray or red squirrels gathering and storing a supply of food in "fall" and recovering enough of them to survive the "winter." Learners carry bags repre

In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

In this simulation, learners act out each digestive function of the organs, tissues, and cells in the digestive tract.

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 will discover how to make butter from scratch. One optional tips includes adding marbles to speed up the process.

In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can

This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

In this outdoor, freshwater activity, learners explore the behavior and food preferences of crawdads (or crabs) by "fishing" for them with various baits.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore how a surprising number of animals use human-made litter, such as cans and crumpled paper, to find food and shelter in their environment.

In this activity, learners are divided into teams.

Learners and their families celebrate and recognize the importance of making healthy choices every day by participating in a health fair.

In this activity, learners participate in fun movement activities while playing on a giant game board. Use this activity to get learners involved in physical activity.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this kinesthetic activity, learners move pom-pom "ions" across a membrane to simulate how an action potential is propagated along an axon.

In this activity, learners explore the importance of active play.

In this simulation activity, learners act as parts of the circulatory system and discover how it serves as a transport system for food/nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and waste.
