Pollinator Play
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.
Afterimage
Source Institutions
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
Population Game
Source Institutions
In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can
What Do Birds Do?
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.
Design a Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.
What Does Life Need to Live?
Source Institutions
In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).
Illuminating Luminescence
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners compare and contrast different forms of luminescence by observing how chemiluminescence, phosphorescence, and fluorescence produce or emit light.
The Carbon Cycle: How It Works
Source Institutions
In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another
OBIS Oil Spill
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.
Food Webs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct possible food webs for six different ecosystems as they learn about the roles of different kinds of living organisms.
Beach Finds Curiosity Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.
Shoebox Dinosaur Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity, (on page 6 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) learners participate in a hands-on fossil excavation.
Close, Closer, Closest
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.
Collect Invertebrates to Determine Water Quality
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into organisms and the health of their ecosystems.
Who Can Harvest a Walleye?
Source Institutions
This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.
Shark Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners touch and observe skulls of sharks and rays to learn about their diversity (over 400 species of sharks alone!).
Any Year Calendars
Source Institutions
This PDF contains 12 calendars (12 months). Each month contains activities about math. Things to do on familiar holidays (like July 4), less common holidays (like Backward Day), and any day.
Bird Watch
Source Institutions
In this group or individual activity, learners are encouraged to watch birds near home or school—possibly where birds are nesting in a tree, pecking in a park, feeding from a feeder, or flying through
Jay Play
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners find out the color of food that jays prefer and then try to change the birds' preference by altering the taste of the food with salt.
Evolution in Action: Isolation and Speciation in the Lower Congo River
Source Institutions
In this guided discussion activity, learners watch a video about Central Africa's Lower Congo River, one of the most biologically diverse rivers in the world.
