In this activity, learners will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.

This activity (on pages 35-43) lets learners analyze a "herd of elk" to detect the spread of a bacterial disease called brucellosis.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this activity (on pages 24-34), learners explore the four-part stomach of cows (and other grazing animals called ruminants), and compare it to the human one-part stomach and its digestive process.

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.

This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

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 environmental science activity about biodiversity, learners play a game to discover the effects of non-native species on an ecosystem.

In this activity, learners pretend that they are orcas and search for their "pods" using Morse code.

In this game of chance, learners will discover how organisms colonized the Galápagos Islands, experiencing how chance plays a role in the successful dispersal of species to new areas.

In this outdoor winter activity, learners search for and create hibernation sites that will protect gelatin "animals" from freezing.

In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this experiment, learners work in pairs to create two gloves -- one that contains a layer of shortening (blubber) inside, and one that doesn't.

In this activity on page 60, learners examine and simulate wildlife entanglement by experiencing what it might be like to be a marine animal trapped in debris.

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

In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Farm Animals Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into raising livestock.
