In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.

In this creativity-based activity, learners imagine what the Earth will look like in the near and distant future, then design their own future habitat and creatures that may live there.

In this math puzzle game, learners work together to use algebraic reasoning and fun clues for solving word puzzles.

In this simulation, learners model two elephant seal populations and how they change over time. Learners start with cards representing a variety of seals.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners transform a strain of E. coli using green fluorescent protein from a bioluminescent jellies.

In this activity, learners investigate feeding relationships. Learners complete a food web and then make a mobile to represent a food chain.

In this four-part activity, learners will discover the exciting world of light--the most important form of energy in our world--and be able to identify and describe different types of light.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this activity (6th on the page), learners investigate how photoreceptors in the eye (rods and cones) "adapt" to low light conditions.

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 group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

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

In this outdoor winter activity, learners search for and create hibernation sites that will protect gelatin "animals" from freezing.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

This activity (page 3 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) is a full inquiry investigation into fossil hunting and identification.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

This lesson plan revolves around studying the speciation of the Galápagos mockingbirds, which are on display at the California Academy of Sciences.

In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.
