In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.

In this indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate ant behavior by testing ant feeding reactions to different types of food.

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 wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

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, warm weather activity, learners use sweepnets to search a grassy area such as a large lawn or field, collecting small animals to find as many different kinds of animals as possible.

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