This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity of a given habitat.

This activity is intended to familiarize learners with native Houston birds, introduce learners to tools biologists use in the field, and to enhance their observation skills.

In this interactive game, learners listen to the songs of four different thrushes and then try to match each bird with its song.

In this activity, learners create their own bird species using arts and crafts materials. The bird call recordings are not online so the introduction activity can't be done, but everything else can.

In this outdoor activity, learners find out the color of food that jays prefer and then try to change the birds' preference by altering the taste of the food with salt.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners survey living organisms near where they live or go to school, and create a local field guide.

In this outdoor activity, learners turn the fun of feeding wild birds into an investigation of bird behavior.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.
