How We Know What The Dinosaurs Looked Like: How Fossils Were Formed
Source Institutions
In this activity (p.7-8 of PDF), learners examine fossil formation.

Hunting Minibeasts
Source Institutions
In this activity (p.6-10 of PDF), learners use different methods for hunting minibeasts (bugs). Learners can either make traps or simply look for minibeasts under stones and logs.

Biodomes Engineering Design Project
In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

Dogs and More Dogs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play an evolution card game to see how selective pressures can affect an organism's evolution.

Rubber Blubber Gloves
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners work in pairs to create two gloves -- one that contains a layer of shortening (blubber) inside, and one that doesn't.

All Tangled Up
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 60, learners examine and simulate wildlife entanglement by experiencing what it might be like to be a marine animal trapped in debris.

Dress Like a Frog
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover what it takes to be a frog. By dressing up like one, learners can visualize how each part of the frog plays an important role in surviving its habitat.

Carbon Dioxide Removal
Source Institutions
In this experiment using sprigs of Elodea, learners will observe a natural process that removes carbon dioxide (CO2) from Earth's atmosphere.

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

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

My Insect
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

Caller ID: The Frog - and Toad! - Mating Game
Source Institutions
This activity is a sensory experience that recreates the sounds of a pond at night.

Build A Dinosaur Nest
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners will gather natural materials outside that they think a dinosaur would want to lay its eggs in.

Observing Earthworm Locomotion
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.

Three Little Pigs Construction Company
Source Institutions
In this activity about problem-solving, learners build a house for the Three Little Pigs using twenty straws and two index cards.

Bark Beetle Infestation Investigation: Estimation and Pheromones
Source Institutions
This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

Destination Tidepool
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 7 of pdf), learners research tide pool ecosystems, and then create brochures that "advertise" these environments.

For the Birds: Environmental Effects on Population
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.
