In this outdoor, ocean-side activity, learners investigate the distribution of organisms in the upper region of the intertidal zone.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners dig for and collect isopods (sometimes known as "roly-poly bugs" or "potato bugs" and other names).

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore UV rays from the Sun and ways to protect against these potentially harmful rays.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

This outdoor activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes) is a full inquiry investigation into how the amount of moisture in a sand dune relates to the number of plants growing

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

In this outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a "litter-critter" wheel to help them identify different animals they find living in a natural litter habitat.
