In this outdoor/indoor activity, learners collect ants and dirt to create an ant farm in a cup that they can observe over time.

In this outdoor winter activity, learners search for and create hibernation sites that will protect gelatin "animals" from freezing.

In this creative outdoor activity, learners invent populations of make-believe organisms and then investigate real populations living in the activity site.

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

In this outdoor simulation game, learners search for pretend animals called "sticklers" to determine and map where they live (habitat) and how spread out they are in that area (distribution).

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

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

In this outdoor, windy day activity, learners "fly" and race leaves along a line to discover which types of leaves catch the most wind. Which leaves are the best fliers? Why?

In this outdoor activity and bingo-like game, learners explore why and how seeds spread far from the plants that produce them.

In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

In this outdoor activity, learners build bird nests and place them in the activity area, then play the role of naturalists as they try to locate each other's nests.

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 discover that plants aren't just shoots (stem, branches, leaves, and flowers) growing above ground, but contain plenty of roots growing underground—more than half th

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

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

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.
