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 activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.

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

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

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

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

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

An outdoor scavenger hunt helps learners consider the theme of "What Is Life?" Learners explore what living organisms are, including how organisms meet basic needs of food, shelter and water to surviv

In this activity about dinosaurs, learners first participate in a group discussion about where and when dinosaurs lived, how big they were, and who studies them and how.

Learners construct a bird feeder from re-used materials. After hanging their feeder, they keep a journal about what birds visit the feeder.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

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.

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

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 explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Farm Animals Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into raising livestock.

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.
