In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity), learners will pair up and take a notebook outdoors to a selected location to observe and record a list of living things that t

In this activity, learners make plaster casts of an animal track to learn more about animals and animal behavior.

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 activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.

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

In this outdoor fall activity, learners find out what living in or under a layer of leaves is like.

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

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.

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.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

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

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

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.
