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 activity, learners create three-dimensional shapes by making some origami models of simple boxes and containers.

In this activity, learners simulate what happens to a human spine in space by making Sponge Spool Spines (alternating sponge pieces and spools threaded on a pipe cleaner).

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

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 activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this activity (on page 8), learners model how marble statues and buildings are affected by acid rain.

In this activity, learners create a model of a neuron by using colored clay or play dough. Learners use diagrams to build the model and then label the parts on a piece of paper.

In this activity, learners make a 3-D model of DNA using paper and toothpicks. While constructing this model, learners will explore the composition and structure of DNA.

In this activity, learners make a model of a beehive using simple materials.

In this activity, learners construct a model of DNA to better understand the structure of DNA and protein synthesis.

In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

In this outdoor activity, learners construct bird feeders and set them up at to investigate bird behavior for one or two weeks. Multiple feeder designs are suggested.

In this activity, learners create an origami model of DNA, demonstrating its double helix structure.

In this activity, learners use an origami template to design eight amino acids. Learners configure the amino acids to form a protein. Use this activity to introduce proteins and amino acids.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

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.

In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

In this activity (page 95 of the PDF), learners create Escher Staircase models similar to those that were used by Neurolab's Spatial Orientation Team to investigate the processing of information about

This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of
