This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.

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

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

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Pet Handedness) is a full inquiry investigation into whether pets show a preference for the left or right paw, or “handedness” like people.

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

In this outdoor, warm weather activity, learners use sweepnets to search a grassy area such as a large lawn or field, collecting small animals to find as many different kinds of animals as possible.

In this activity, learners keep track of how much paper the group uses in a week. Build awareness of paper waste, while strengthening measurement and estimation skills.

In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.

In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can

In this outdoor, night-time activity, learners discover how to spot eye-shine (reflection of light from an animal's eyes) by using a flashlight to play a simulation game.

In this activity, learners make three different "seed" types and determine which design flies the farthest.

In this math lesson, learners record and graph plant growth and interpret data. Learners plant seeds, and once the seeds sprout, record the change in height of the plants for several days.

In this outdoor activity, learners find the swollen bumps known as "galls" on various plants and get a closeup look at the parasitic animals living inside.
