In this activity, learners discover how bats use echolocation to get information about objects in their environment. During the activity, one learner whispers into a tube.

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this activity (6th on the page), learners investigate how photoreceptors in the eye (rods and cones) "adapt" to low light conditions.

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

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

In this activity, learners explore the gait of horses by constructing flipbooks with British photographer Eadweard Muybridge's famous photographs.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity, learners simulate whale echolocation. Learners experience echolocation by wearing blindfolds, while another learner makes snapping noises in front of, behind, or to the side of them.

This activity is a fun way to show two stages in a Monarch butterfly's life cycle. Learners will create an optical illusion that can be flipped from caterpillar to butterfly.

In this online activity, learners test their ability to hear different frequencies and compare their frequency range with the frequency range of other animals and insects.

In this activity about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.

In this interactive game, learners will test their memory of animal and insect sounds. Flip over cards, listen to the sound, and try to find the ones that match.

In this activity, learners investigate how bats use echolocation to navigate. One learner is assigned to be a bat, while the other learners are selected to be either moths or trees.

In this outdoor fall activity, learners find out what living in or under a layer of leaves is like.

In this game, learners try to find nano-related objects on a game board. Learners investigate the different ways nano is in the world around us.

This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?

Use this hands-on activity to demonstrate infrared and thermal radiation.
