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

In this activity, learners will discover what it takes to be a frog. By dressing up like one, learners can visualize how each part of the frog plays an important role in surviving its habitat.

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 activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this activity, learners interact with whale artifacts such as replicas of skulls, bones, teeth, and baleen (hair-like plates that form a feeding filter).

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

In this activity, learners touch and observe skulls of sharks and rays to learn about their diversity (over 400 species of sharks alone!).

In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.

To convey the concept of how animals adapt to survive, this game asks learners to imagine what adaptations a given animal would need to live in a certain environment—including environments where such

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

In this group activity, learners consider environmental conditions—temperature, presence of water, atmosphere, sunlight, and chemical composition—on planets and moons in our solar system to determine

By participating in a seed scavenger hunt, learners examine many adaptations of seeds, including how many seeds a plant makes, how those seeds travel to new locations, and what protects them from pred

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 look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.

In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.

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

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 outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

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