Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

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

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

Many germs spread by our hands, and often times, people don't wash their hands well enough to get rid of germs.

In this activity, learners will be able to measure themselves in nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, a unit of measurement used in nanotechnology.

In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.

Learners make a "menu" of any plants in their lunch for Monday through Friday and draw the plants from their lunch.

In this art-related activity, learners make a coin rubbing—a process similar to what archeologists may do with ancient artifacts. This activity can be used in connection with a history or art lesson.

Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.

In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.

In this self-measuring activity, learners observe and record how many times a minute they blink, take a breath, and chew, as well as how many times a minute their heart beats.

Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.

Most people break at least two bones in their lifetime. In this activity, learners will use celery stalks to model the many ways that bones can fracture.

Although we may not admit it, all humans fart or pass some gas. In this activity, learners make their own model to mimic food passing through intestines and discover what releases gas.

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

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.
