In this creative activity, learners will find out what makes an insect an insect by studying examples of insect adaptations and by examining why there are so many different types of insects.

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

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.

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.

In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.

In this creativity-based activity, learners imagine what the Earth will look like in the near and distant future, then design their own future habitat and creatures that may live there.

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

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this activity (6th on the page), learners investigate how photoreceptors in the eye (rods and cones) "adapt" to low light conditions.

In this outdoor art/environmental activity, learners create designs that will attract attention to animals and plants in particular habitats, and then test whether their designs attracted the "right"

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 quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

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

In this activity, learners observe tide pool animals in a touch tank to consider how they survive.

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

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

In this activity, learners use measurement concepts to make models of what their body parts might look like if they were a snake or a chameleon.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate ant behavior by testing ant feeding reactions to different types of food.
