This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

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 and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

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

Learners and their families celebrate and recognize the importance of making healthy choices every day by participating in a health fair.

Using zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), elodea and an indicator dye, learners study the role of light in photosynthesis.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.

This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this open-ended multicultural lab activity, learners investigate the effectiveness of herbal remedies.

In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

What does it mean to be alive? Is a cactus alive? Is a seed alive? Is the air we breathe alive? What are the necessary characteristics?

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.
