Join the Dinosaur Age
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

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

If You Lived in a Forest
Source Institutions
This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

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

Woodlands Map
Source Institutions
This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

What is a Fossil?
Source Institutions
In this activity about dinosaurs, learners explore how and why fossils form. First, learners are introduced to dinosaur fossils by reading the book "Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones" by Byron Barton.

Amphibian Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

Dinosaur Homes
Source Institutions
In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.

Dinosaur Sock Puppet
Source Institutions
In this activity about dinosaurs, learners first participate in a group discussion about where and when dinosaurs lived, how big they were, and who studies them and how.

Dress Like a Frog
Source Institutions
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.

Dinosaur Dig
Source Institutions
This is an activity about dinosaurs, fossils, and the work of paleontologists. Learners use hand tools (paint brushes, scoops, and sifters) to unearth fossil specimens in tubs of birdseed.

Is it a Fish?
Source Institutions
This activity is on page 8 of the pdf, part of the Sea Life Discovery Box. This is an activity exploring the characteristics of fish.

Bird Beaks
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.

Polar Bear Glove
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how animal in cold areas stay warm.

Fish Wheels
Source Institutions
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

Tweak Your Beak
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how different bird beaks work and discover what birds can eat based on their beak shape.

Coral Polyp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own coral polyps - the basis for a coral reef.

Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.
Flesh Out a Fossil
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover how artists start with a skeleton and turn it into a realistic drawing of a dinosaur.

How Animals Stay Warm
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners explore how blubber protects animals from the cold by making a "blubber mitt." Using cooking shortening, two zip-top sandwich bags, and duct tape, learners simulate bl
