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 activity, learners construct bird feeders and set them up at to investigate bird behavior for one or two weeks. Multiple feeder designs are suggested.

In this optics activity, learners split white light into all its component colors using three household items: a compact disc, dishwashing liquid, and a hose (outside).

In this outdoor, ocean-side activity, learners investigate the distribution of organisms in the upper region of the intertidal zone.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

Learners place water and part of an antacid tablet in a film canister. The reaction creates a gas reaction that launches the film canister like a rocket.

In this outdoor activity, learners build bird nests and place them in the activity area, then play the role of naturalists as they try to locate each other's nests.

In this activity, learners build large-scale structures and cantilevers in a series of "building out" challenges with garden poles and tape.

Everybody loves bubbles, and this is the best bubble recipe ever!

In this outdoor game, learners role play populations linked in a food chain.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

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 (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity), learners will identify a group of deciduous trees to study.

In this math lesson, learners participate in several activities where they apply measurement skills.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this activity, learners build handheld rockets and launchers out of PVC pipes and plastic bottles. Use this activity to demonstrate acceleration, air pressure, and Newton's Laws of Motion.

In this meteorology activity, learners construct simple devices to measure the direction and speed of wind.

In this activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the water currents that aquatic animals create when they breathe, feed, and propel themselves through water.

In this outdoor science/art activity, learners investigate spider webs by using string to create their own spider webs.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
