This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) about the mixture of materials in bone and how they affect its strength.

In this activity (on pages 30-36), learners simulate a dig for ancient pollen, to experience how paleobotanists study fossilized pollen in rocks to learn about early geological and climatological even

In this activity (page 7 of PDF), learners will identify the general two-dimensional geometric shape of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater.

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.

An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

In this activity, learners consider how oil spills behave in the ocean and what impact they have on marine wildlife.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi

In this activity, learners use aluminum trays and wooden blocks to form stream tables to investigate river formations in two different landscape scenarios.

This is an activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area to volume ratio.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this activity, learners take an indoor nature walk and discover various objects that have been brought in from the outdoor environment.

In this math lesson, learners apply mathematical modeling to solve a real-world storage problem, in which a manufacturing company is given two options for storing oil barrels.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories

In this simulation game, learners play as predators equipped with genetically different “mouths” (utensils) and hunt for “prey” (assorted beans).

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.

In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.
