Use the Zoo Calendar (page 1 of PDF) to involve learners in interdisciplinary, whole language, and writing activities about ecological concepts.

This is a tape and glue activity in which learners make binoculars that they can decorate and then use to go bird watching.

In this activity, learners investigate the impact of oil pollution on the environment and wildlife. Learners use hard-boiled eggs and feathers to understand the damage that oil spills can cause.

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

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

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 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

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this activity, learners make pretend snakes and use them to explore estimation and measurement. Learners roll out clay snakes and estimate and measure their lengths and diameters.

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.

In this activity, learners build a mini crank machine to make a bird "fly." This engineering activity introduces learners to automata, rotational motion, cranks and cams.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.

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

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

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

In this Cyberchase activity, learners use the numbers one through six to solve a puzzle.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this math activity, learners build Peppy the dog the best trail and park for running around.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
