In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners dig for and collect isopods (sometimes known as "roly-poly bugs" or "potato bugs" and other names).

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).

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

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

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.

This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Pet Handedness) is a full inquiry investigation into whether pets show a preference for the left or right paw, or “handedness” like people.

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

In this outdoor activity, learners find, count and compare as many different kinds of animals as they can find in two different areas: a managed lawn and a weedy area.

In this outdoor, freshwater activity, learners explore the behavior and food preferences of crawdads (or crabs) by "fishing" for them with various baits.

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

This lab activity is about toxic substances like pesticides and their effects on biological systems. The activity starts with an introduction of how birds sequester calcium to make an egg.

In this outdoor game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.
