This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this activity (25th on the page) about learning and memory, learners explore a training method that animal trainers employ called "shaping." Working in pairs, learners will attempt to "shape" each

In this fun activity about spiders, learners build and design a spider from cardstock, straw, string, and pipe cleaners.

In this experiment, learners work in pairs to create two gloves -- one that contains a layer of shortening (blubber) inside, and one that doesn't.

In this activity on page 60, learners examine and simulate wildlife entanglement by experiencing what it might be like to be a marine animal trapped in debris.

This is an activity about dinosaurs, fossils, and the work of paleontologists. Learners use hand tools (paint brushes, scoops, and sifters) to unearth fossil specimens in tubs of birdseed.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

In this activity, learners investigate different types of bird beaks using household items which mimic different beak examples.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that models a chromatography-like process called electrophoresis, a process used to analyze DNA.

In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.

In this activity, early learners simulate fossil prints in play dough or clay.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this activity, learners explore the concepts of natural selection and observable traits in a game that can be played at home.

In this activity, learners explore the work of paleontologists.

In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.

This activity introduces learners to wolf behavior and communication.
