In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

In this outdoor activity, learners find, count and compare as many different kinds of animals as they can find in two different areas: a managed lawn and a weedy area.

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

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

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

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

In this multi-faceted game (on pages 25-35), learners recreate what happens to creatures in the Brazilian rain forest as they grow from egg to adult—especially those that use fallen, empty Brazil nut

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

In this activity, learners investigate how increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity (pH) of the ocean and affecting coral reefs and other marin

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.

In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.

In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

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 simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

In this creative activity, learners will practice looking carefully to observe details and to become familiar with dioramas as a method for displaying naturalistic scenes.

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.
