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

In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

In this outdoor, warm weather activity, learners use sweepnets to search a grassy area such as a large lawn or field, collecting small animals to find as many different kinds of animals as possible.

In this outdoor activity, learners make models of homes that might protect small animals from the elements, then search living plants for real structures made by small animals.

In this activity (page 5 of the PDF), learners will create a food web and explore food sources for different organisms. They will identify relationships between organisms in an ecosystem.

In this activity, learners discover which plants and animals have symbiotic relationships and how this impacts each organism.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a "litter-critter" wheel to help them identify different animals they find living in a natural litter habitat.

In this outdoor fall activity, learners find out what living in or under a layer of leaves is like.

In this outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.

In this outdoor activity, learners explore how a surprising number of animals use human-made litter, such as cans and crumpled paper, to find food and shelter in their environment.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.
