In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners find, count and compare as many different kinds of animals as they can find in two different areas: a managed lawn and a weedy area.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this outdoor, freshwater activity, learners explore the behavior and food preferences of crawdads (or crabs) by "fishing" for them with various baits.

In this environmental science activity about biodiversity, learners play a game to discover the effects of non-native species on an ecosystem.

In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.

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 game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.

In this activity, learners use plastic tubing and a funnel to listen to their heart. Learners also discover that if they run around, their heart pumps harder and faster, making it easier to hear.

In this activity, learners explore how to stay fit the fun way. Learners participate in three physical activities.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

Learners discover how important their thumbs are by attempting various tasks without them. After tying up their thumbs, learners attempt to legibly write their names or play catch with a tennis ball.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.

In this Bob the Builder(TM)-themed activity, learners go on a nature walk outside and describe what they observe using their senses.

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

In this outdoor activity linking human health to the environment, learners use their pulse rates as a measure of the effort expended in walking on different slopes.

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

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

In this invention challenge activity, learners create an indoor game for one or two people that gets you moving.
