Fossilized Dinosaur Teeth Adaptations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

Kelsey: Clues of the Dig Site Map
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and a dig site. Learners work in groups to analyze a dig site map and match bones to a skeletal drawing of Kelsey (a Triceratops).

Planaria Regeneration
Source Institutions
In this experiment with planaria (a type of flatworm), learners will investigate the capability of different body sections to regenerate.

Flocking for Food
Source Institutions
In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

Make a Dinosaur Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

Exploring Materials: Thin Films
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a colorful bookmark using a super thin layer of nail polish on water. Learners discover that a thin film creates iridescent, rainbow colors.

Animal House
Source Institutions
The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

Cats and Canaries
Source Institutions
In this math puzzle game, learners work together to use algebraic reasoning and fun clues for solving word puzzles.

Natural Selection in Protected and Unprotected Populations
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners model two elephant seal populations and how they change over time. Learners start with cards representing a variety of seals.

Mapping Mockingbirds
Source Institutions
This lesson plan revolves around studying the speciation of the Galápagos mockingbirds, which are on display at the California Academy of Sciences.

Amphibian Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

Butterfly Symmetry Painting
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF) has learners create models of butterfly wings.

Supersize That Dinosaur
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

Animal Ears
Source Institutions
This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Horse Ears) is a full inquiry investigation into animal behavior and communication.

The Bug Walk
Source Institutions
In this fun group activity involving music and movement, learners are introduced to the idea that many insects walk by using their legs to create "alternating triangles." Learners sing the "Ants Go Ma

The Gator Pie Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore fractions as they help gators share pies.

Fly on the Ceiling
Source Institutions
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.

Fossil Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.
Build a Borneo Glider
Source Institutions
In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

Lengths of Ladybugs
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length.
