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

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

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

In this outdoor activity, learners become beachcombers as they walk on a sandy beach in search of evidence of life.

An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

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

This is an activity where learners will discover what types and how many insects live in their own backyard.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

In this math activity, learners collect, organize, and analyze a set of data related to types of animals in the temperate forest.

In this activity, learners survey living organisms near where they live or go to school, and create a local field guide.
