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

In this outdoor activity, learners construct bird feeders and set them up at to investigate bird behavior for one or two weeks. Multiple feeder designs are suggested.

In this outdoor, ocean-side activity, learners investigate the distribution of organisms in the upper region of the intertidal zone.

¡En esta tira cómica, Mateo y Cientina son detectives! Ellos usan sus destrezas investigativas para identificar de dónde provinieron algunas muestras de arena.

In this outdoor activity, learners build bird nests and place them in the activity area, then play the role of naturalists as they try to locate each other's nests.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

En esta actividad, los aprendices harán un terrario usando materiales simples.

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

In this outdoor, night-time activity, learners discover how to spot eye-shine (reflection of light from an animal's eyes) by using a flashlight to play a simulation game.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this outdoor mapping activity, learners explore where plants grow and map plant-distribution patterns.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this group or individual activity, learners are encouraged to watch birds near home or school—possibly where birds are nesting in a tree, pecking in a park, feeding from a feeder, or flying through

In this outdoor activity, learners find out the color of food that jays prefer and then try to change the birds' preference by altering the taste of the food with salt.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

In this outdoor, windy day activity, learners "fly" and race leaves along a line to discover which types of leaves catch the most wind. Which leaves are the best fliers? Why?

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate the special shapes, holding structures and holding behaviors that real organisms use in streams, rivers, creeks or coast intertidal zones to a
