Saldo Island: An Unfair Game
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity about biodiversity, learners play a game to discover the effects of non-native species on an ecosystem.
Flashy Fish
Source Institutions
Professor John Endler traveled to Trinidad in the 1970s to study wild guppies. In this activity, learners take part in an online simulation of Endler's work.
Invent an Animal
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.
Plant Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and game, learners collect and sort leaf samples to determine how many types of plants grow in the activity site.
Race for Survival
Source Institutions
During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.
Variation Game
Source Institutions
In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.
Extreme Lifestyles
Source Institutions
In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.
Wolf Survival is Just a Roll Away
Source Institutions
In this simulation activity, learners will raise a pack of wolves under ten different conditions: without human interference and with human interference.
Acorns
Source Institutions
In this outdoor game, learners play the roles of gray or red squirrels gathering and storing a supply of food in "fall" and recovering enough of them to survive the "winter." Learners carry bags repre
Go Bug!
Source Institutions
By playing a card game similar to "Go Fish," but based on the stages of metamorphosis, learners will be able to see how insects change in form as they grow and will consider the advantages of undergoi
Wolf Survival
Source Institutions
In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.
Tree Tally
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.
Eat Like a Bird
Source Institutions
Birds' beaks are designed to allow birds to get the most of whatever food they need. In this activity, learners get an idea of how different beak shapes suit different food sources.
Ocean Home: Swimming Fishes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.
Population Game
Source Institutions
In this outdoor game, learners simulate a herd of deer trying to survive in an area called the "home range." Learners explore the concept of "carrying capacity"—what size population of an organism can
The Carbon Cycle: How It Works
Source Institutions
In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another
Who Can Harvest a Walleye?
Source Institutions
This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.
Exploring Symbiosis
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover which plants and animals have symbiotic relationships and how this impacts each organism.
Sticklers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor simulation game, learners search for pretend animals called "sticklers" to determine and map where they live (habitat) and how spread out they are in that area (distribution).
Bugs, Worms & Others
Source Institutions
In this creative outdoor activity, learners invent populations of make-believe organisms and then investigate real populations living in the activity site.
