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 role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

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.

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore the world of insects and other "bugs" by Making a "bug hotel" with recycled objects.

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 data collection activity about crabs, learners use data from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) trawl survey to determine the areas of the Chesapeake Bay that are being used by bl

In this outdoor simulation game, learners search for pretend animals called "sticklers" to determine and map where they live (habitat) and how spread out they are in that area (distribution).

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this creative outdoor activity, learners invent populations of make-believe organisms and then investigate real populations living in the activity site.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this activity, learners listen to a story about a made-up endangered species--a flying frog! Learners print out six story pages and then draw the pictures and write the captions.

This activity helps the learner answer the question: "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" Learners play a

In this lesson, learners will understand the concepts behind endangered and extinct animals and develop their own conservation plan to save three endangered species.

In this outdoor activity and animal-role-play game, learners discover and uncover the hidden world of "cryptozoa"—organisms such as spiders, salamanders and slugs that live under objects, like rocks a

In this science and language arts activity, learners study fish anatomy and make their very own 3D paper fish.
