In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

This activity (on pages 35-43) lets learners analyze a "herd of elk" to detect the spread of a bacterial disease called brucellosis.

Throw that fish back? A new generation of ethical anglers concerned about conserving resources is participating in "catch and release" fishing. How is this going?

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of hearing and plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this math lesson, learners rotate through various centers while comparing and ordering objects according to length.

This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

In order to examine the random nature of mutations and natural selection, learners "breed" clutches of Egyptian Origami Birds (Avis papyrus) using random number generators (dice and coins) to mutate s

In this activity, learners explore why animals, specifically dinosaurs, live in families.

In this activity, learners investigate the sense of sight and develop and conduct their own experiments.

In this activity, learners conduct a scientific investigation involving decomposition and discover that the life cycle of trash is affected by its organic or inorganic nature.

In this classic memory game (on pages 37-45 of PDF), learners turn over tiles to reveal images on the back.

In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.

In this math lesson, learners explore probability.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this activity, learners solidify their conceptualization of cells by building a model of a cell in a ziplock bag.

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 math activity, learners use a "function machine" to collect and organize simple data. The function machine in this case is a cardboard box and the input/output data are paper fish.

In this activity, young learners use different-sized paper 'caterpillars' and various household items to predict and measure their height.

In this activity about endoskeletons (page 8 of PDF), learners observe, compare and contrast different kinds of chicken bones, and relate their chicken bone observations to human bones.
