In this outdoor activity, learners search for lichen, a combination of a fungus and an alga living together. Lichen grow where most other plants cannot, on rocks, the trunks of trees, logs and sand.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

Role-playing the parts of chromosomes and centrioles, learners use large chromosome models and nylon cords (spindle fibers and cell membranes) to walk through the processes of mitosis and meiosis.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

In this activity, learners discover that the human brain is highly adaptable. Learners try to toss beanbags at a target while wearing prism goggles.

In this activity, learners use coverslips to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

In this activity, learners explore sports engineering and advanced materials development.

In this outdoor, ocean-side activity, learners investigate the distribution of organisms in the upper region of the intertidal zone.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

In this activity, learners are divided into teams.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

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 outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.

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.

In this activity, learners simulate Otto von Guericke's famous Magdeburg Hemispheres experiment.
