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

In this activity, learners will be introduced to citizen science projects that can be done from home.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this activity, learners are challenged to build a bird feeder using recycled materials from home and are encouraged to problem solve during the extensions.

In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

In this activity, learners build their own magnetometer using an empty soda bottle, magnets, laser pointer, and household objects.

In this activity, learners explore nonrenewable resources and learn why these resources are finite.

In this activity, learners will take a step back and learn the history of the land they live on, and the people who used to live on it.

In this activity, learners create colorful bead bracelets to wear outside while searching for matching colors in plants. Learners will be surprised by the variety of colors in nature.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

In this activity/demonstration, learners explore pollen and how insects and animals transport pollen. Learners investigate and compare wind and animal pollination.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this quick and easy activity, learners build an air cannon "drum" and see what happens when they "shoot" puffs of air at different targets.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this activity, learners use whale count data from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary to compare whale counts in relation to environmental factors.
