In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

In this activity, learners investigate how wolves communicate with each other through different body postures.

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

In this outdoor activity that can be combined with a hike, learners try to match a "mystery community" by shaking animals out of different trees and shrubs.

Learners imagine they are paleontologists in Florida, where they find (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.

This activity is a sensory experience that recreates the sounds of a pond at night.

In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.

Did you know that a bullfrog can jump a distance of 10 times its body length? Learn more about nature's most acrobatic amphibian, the frog, through this set of short, hands-on activities.

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

In this activity, learners learn about the adaptations that flowers have developed which support pollination. Learners also list their personal preferences (i.e.

In this activity, learners play an active version of freeze tag based on predator/prey relationships.

In this activity, learners take an indoor nature walk and discover various objects that have been brought in from the outdoor environment.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design, build and test a birdhouse that will stay cool in the sun.

In this activity, learners explore the Great Plains.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity, learners create a three-dimensional sculpture while examining the characteristics of fish.

In this math lesson, learners play two different games to help them understand coordinates. First, learners read the book, "The Fly on the Ceiling," by Julie Glass.

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 activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.
