In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

In this game, learners create flash cards with an image on one side (of an animal, for example) and the sound that animal makes on the other.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this genetics activity, learners create and decode a “DNA recipe” for a dog by randomly selecting strips of paper that represent DNA.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

In this activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

Did you know that a bullfrog can jump a distance of 10 times its body length? Learn more about nature's most acrobatic amphibian, the frog, through this set of short, hands-on activities.

In this activity, learners survey living organisms near where they live or go to school, and create a local field guide.

In this activity, learners will discover how the thin layers of amphibians' skin allow water and other chemicals to pass through it.

In this craft-based activity, learners make DNA sequence bracelets that carry the code of an organism such as a human, trout, chimpanzee or butterfly.

In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

This activity features two connected hands-on activities about dinosaur bones.

This is an activity where learners will discover what types and how many insects live in their own backyard.
