Take a Hike!: A Family Forest Walk
Source Institutions
In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

Pet Handedness
Source Institutions
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.

Why Doesn’t the Ocean Freeze?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.
Let's Count Humpback Whales: Environmental Effects on Population
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use whale count data from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary to compare whale counts in relation to environmental factors.

The Scoop on Scallops
Source Institutions
In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.

Engineer an Octopus Suction Pad
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

Lever Cowboy
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

Calendarios para cualquier año
Source Institutions
Este Web site contiene links a 12 calendarios (12 meses). Cada mes contiene actividades sobre matemáticas.

Dogs and More Dogs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play an evolution card game to see how selective pressures can affect an organism's evolution.

Carbon Dioxide Removal
Source Institutions
In this experiment using sprigs of Elodea, learners will observe a natural process that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere.
River Catcher
Source Institutions
In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

For the Birds: Environmental Effects on Population
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

I Spy, Describing Insects
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe and describe the physical and behavioral characteristics of insects, including crickets.

Virtual Farm Management
Source Institutions

Chilean Sea Bass: Off the Menu
Source Institutions
In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

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

Candy Chemosynthesis
Source Institutions
In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

Cranking Bird
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.
Fish Eyes: More than Meets the Eye
Source Institutions
In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.
