In this outdoor art/environmental activity, learners create designs that will attract attention to animals and plants in particular habitats, and then test whether their designs attracted the "right"

In this outdoor winter activity, learners search for and create hibernation sites that will protect gelatin "animals" from freezing.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate ant behavior by testing ant feeding reactions to different types of food.

In this wintertime outdoor activity, learners role play wolves tracking their prey by following scented trails.

In this activity, learners make a model of a beehive using simple materials.

In this outdoor activity, learners build bird nests and place them in the activity area, then play the role of naturalists as they try to locate each other's nests.

In this outdoor/indoor activity, learners collect ants and dirt to create an ant farm in a cup that they can observe over time.

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

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).

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 outdoor activity, learners become beachcombers as they walk on a sandy beach in search of evidence of life.

Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

This activity includes several games about animal sounds. Using their sense of hearing and communicating with various kinds of noisemakers, learners role-play predator and prey.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

In this outdoor science/art activity, learners investigate spider webs by using string to create their own spider webs.

In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.

In this movement and measurement activity, learners jump as far as they can three times, and compare their longest jump to the longest jump of their friends, classmates and/or family members.

This activity features two connected hands-on activities about dinosaur bones.
