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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as efficient planting and harvesting.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

By participating in a seed scavenger hunt, learners examine many adaptations of seeds, including how many seeds a plant makes, how those seeds travel to new locations, and what protects them from pred

This activity (on pages 19-24) introduces learners to the rain forest's layers—emergent, canopy, understory, and forest floor—and has learners make paper lianas (vines that live attached to trees) and

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.

In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.

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

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity of a given habitat.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.

In this activity, learners imagine the path their food takes from planting a seed, all the way to sitting on their kitchen counters. Explore concepts for each step food takes to reach your home.

In this activity, learners will design a seed and test how it travels. Learners will use the Engineering Design Process to create a seed which can move from place to place.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and build a miniature tree house in a potted plant. This activity uses engineering concepts to encourage creativity.

In this activity, learners discover which plants and animals have symbiotic relationships and how this impacts each organism.

In this activity, learners use food scraps from the kitchen to grow new vegetables.
