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

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

In this outdoor activity and animal-role-play game, learners discover and uncover the hidden world of "cryptozoa"—organisms such as spiders, salamanders and slugs that live under objects, like rocks a

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.

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 collecting/comparing activity, learners work with samples of sand from different places like a lakefront, river, or ocean beach.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.
