In this activity, learners will observe birds in their backyard or local park. They will attempt to find common Ohio birds and will look for bird behaviors just like an ornithologist.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

Learners observe different light sources, outdoors and indoors, using prism glasses (diffraction glasses) and color filters.

Learners follow a three-step process to start their own rock collection.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

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 start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

This three-part activity shows learners how to build three meteorology tools: a wind vane, a rain gauge, and a barometer.

In this activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.

In this activity (on pages 10-17), learners discover how scientists study biodiversity and the health of the environment based on inspection of small areas—a process known as sampling.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.
