This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity of a given habitat.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners roundup a "herd" of hopping insects and find out how many different kinds or species are in their herd.

In this activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a "litter-critter" wheel to help them identify different animals they find living in a natural litter habitat.

In this activity, learners survey living organisms near where they live or go to school, and create a local field guide.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.

This is an activity where learners will discover what types and how many insects live in their own backyard.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.
