Exploring Size: StretchAbility
Source Institutions
In this game, learners explore the different sizes of things in the world. In this Twister-like game, learners must place a hand or foot on a circle of the right scale - macro, micro, or nano.

Clipbirds
Source Institutions
In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.

Ocean Home: Swimming Fishes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.

Sand, Plants and Pants
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

Energy Use in the Americas
Source Institutions
Learners explore the relationship between energy consumption, population, and carbon emissions in the countries of the Americas.

Animal House
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

The Adaptation Game
Source Institutions
To convey the concept of how animals adapt to survive, this game asks learners to imagine what adaptations a given animal would need to live in a certain environment—including environments where such

Leapin' Lizards
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners first explore lizard feeding behavior by creating a "lizard rig" to dangle different objects in front of live lizards and see which objects the lizards try to bite.

For the Birds: Environmental Effects on Population
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

Plants Around a Building
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

Water Molds (Oomycetes)
Source Institutions
In this laboratory activity, learners use a simple procedure to bait oomycetes from water and/ or soil and then examine these fungus-like organisms with the microscope to see how they look.

Clippy Island: An Investigation into Natural Selection
Source Institutions
In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L
