In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.

In this activity, (on page 6 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Dinosaurs) learners participate in a hands-on fossil excavation.

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 activity, learners will explore trends in Canada goose populations using real data from the National Audubon Society's Christmas Bird Count.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity), learners will pair up and take a notebook outdoors to a selected location to observe and record a list of living things that t

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.

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 activity, learners will investigate the impacts of harmful phytoplankton using NOAA's Coastal Services Center Harmful Algal Bloom Forecasting (HABF) Project data.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs) is a full inquiry investigation into using indicator species to assess the health of an environment.

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

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish) is a full inquiry investigation into environmental adaptation.

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

In this ecology activity, learners make a model water-based ecosystem called a terraqua column. The column (in a large soda bottle) includes pond water, duckweed, sand or gravel, and small snails.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits) is a full inquiry investigation into observing, recording, and graphing animal behavior.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.

In this graphing activity (on pages 33-40), learners investigate how much and what kinds of food sea otter pups eat during their first year of life.
