Deer Me: A Predator/Prey Simulation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.

Shark Sense of Smell
Source Institutions
This is an activity about our sense of smell and how it compares to sharks' super noses. Learners will create varying solutions of water and perfume.

Flocking for Food
Source Institutions
In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

Silent Stalking
Source Institutions
In this outdoor game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.

Food Chains and Webs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate feeding relationships. Learners complete a food web and then make a mobile to represent a food chain.

Race for Survival
Source Institutions
During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

Owl Pellets
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 7 of the PDF), learners will investigate the contents of owl pellets. Learners will discover how owls digest their food as well as the kind of animals they eat.

Web It!
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners investigate spider webs and feeding behavior, particularly how spiders trap food in their sticky silk webs while not getting stuck themselves.

Life in a Nutshell
Source Institutions
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

Scent Tracking
Source Institutions
In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

Wolf Survival is Just a Roll Away
Source Institutions
In this simulation activity, learners will raise a pack of wolves under ten different conditions: without human interference and with human interference.

Ocean Echolocation
Source Institutions
Use echolocation to find others and experience how whales’ senses have adapted to suit their environment. In pairs, learners are blindfolded and use containers filled with marbles to find each other.

Wolf Limiting Factors
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

Wolf Survival
Source Institutions
In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

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

What's for Dinner?
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will create a food web and explore food sources for different organisms. They will identify relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.

Food Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

Sound Off!
Source Institutions
This activity includes several games about animal sounds. Using their sense of hearing and communicating with various kinds of noisemakers, learners role-play predator and prey.

Scram or Freeze
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and animal-role-play game, learners discover and uncover the hidden world of "cryptozoa"—organisms such as spiders, salamanders and slugs that live under objects, like rocks a

Design-a-Fish
Source Institutions
In this science and language arts activity, learners study fish anatomy and make their very own 3D paper fish.
