In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.

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 activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.

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 activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore turtle basic adaptations and biology. Turtle external anatomy is explored by "building" a turtle with a nature collage.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

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 engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

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

In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

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 (p.6-10 of PDF), learners use different methods for hunting minibeasts (bugs). Learners can either make traps or simply look for minibeasts under stones and logs.

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.
