In this outdoor activity and bingo-like game, learners explore why and how seeds spread far from the plants that produce them.

In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

In this outdoor art/environmental activity, learners create designs that will attract attention to animals and plants in particular habitats, and then test whether their designs attracted the "right"

In this activity, learners observe live fish in tanks to consider how their body structures are related to their behaviors and habitats.

Experience a spinning spiral...you won't be hypnotized, but you'll see what happens when you look away. It's like getting off a merry-go-round and everything keeps moving.

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

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this activity, learners will discover what it takes to be a frog. By dressing up like one, learners can visualize how each part of the frog plays an important role in surviving its habitat.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity.

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

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

What's a more compelling problem to solve than being stranded on a deserted island?

In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.

In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.

In this culinary activity, learners use multiple senses (sight, smell, touch, and taste!) to explore real seaweed samples.

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 inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this activity about vision and optical illusions, learners conduct a simple test to demonstrate how our eyes create "afterimages." Learners stare at a black cardboard bat for at least 30 seconds an
