Serving Sizes
Source Institutions
In this nutrition and estimation activity (page 12 of PDF), learners estimate serving sizes of different foods and compare their estimates to serving size information provided on nutrition food labels

Comparing Sizes of Microorganisms
Source Institutions
In this activity related to microbes, learners create scale models of microorganisms and compare relative sizes of common bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoa using metric measures: meters, centimete

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.

Sketch a Skeleton
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 15-18 of PDF), learners make a life-size two-dimensional paper model of their own skeletons.

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

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.

Mapping the Homunculus
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how the human brain interprets environmental stimuli.

Population Game
Source Institutions
In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can

Energy Sources
Source Institutions
In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 5 of PDF), learners conduct an experiment to compare how much energy is released as heat from two different foods.

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

Exploring Shadows
Source Institutions
This activity guide features three related explorations to help learners ages 3-6 investigate shadows via the following science concepts: A shadow is made when an object blocks the light; you can chan
