This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

Dig a hole, line it, fill it with fresh water, and you have a water hole: a good place to study colonization.

This activity (on pages 35-43) lets learners analyze a "herd of elk" to detect the spread of a bacterial disease called brucellosis.

In this activity (Page 30 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by conducting sedimentation tests on different flours.

In this activity, learners collect, analyze, and interpret information about objects in order to classify them into a cladogram. Use this activity to talk about how scientists classify things.

In this outdoor activity, learners dig for and collect isopods (sometimes known as "roly-poly bugs" or "potato bugs" and other names).

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

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 activity, learners discover how bats use echolocation to get information about objects in their environment. During the activity, one learner whispers into a tube.

In this arts and crafts activity about animals and animal characteristics, learners will design animal hats and role-play as animals.

This marine biology activity (on pages 11-17) introduces learners to kelp (seaweed) forests that grow in the ocean and are home to many species of sea animals.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

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

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.
