In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

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 activity, learners work in small groups to match various marine animals with their different environments.

In this data activity, learners will compare and contrast fish communities, diversity and habitats in U.S. National Marine Sanctuaries.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity.

In this activity, learners plant seeds and watch them sprout and grow inside a CD case.

In this activity, learners investigate how increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity (pH) of the ocean and affecting coral reefs and other marin

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.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity of a given habitat.

In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

This laboratory activity helps learners understand the concept of biological succession by simulating the process in a microenvironment with various protozoans.

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

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

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

In this data collection activity about crabs, learners use data from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) trawl survey to determine the areas of the Chesapeake Bay that are being used by bl
