In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this outdoor activity, learners dig for and collect isopods (sometimes known as "roly-poly bugs" or "potato bugs" and other names).

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

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

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that replicates the dilemma faced by birds in acquiring food from a confined area.

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

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 lesson that includes hands-on activities and demonstrations, learners discover that it is the tilt of the Earth's axis (not its proximity to the sun) that causes the seasons.

In this outdoor, freshwater activity, learners explore the behavior and food preferences of crawdads (or crabs) by "fishing" for them with various baits.

In this environmental science activity about biodiversity, learners play a game to discover the effects of non-native species on an ecosystem.

In this activity, learners pretend that they are orcas and search for their "pods" using Morse code.

The purpose of this plant biotechnology activity is to demonstrate the effect of changes in the environment on the growth and fertility of landscape grasses and crop grasses such as wheat and rice.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

Learners use beach profile data from a local beach or online data from Ocean City, Maryland to investigate coastal erosion and sediment transport.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

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

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this simulation, learners model two elephant seal populations and how they change over time. Learners start with cards representing a variety of seals.

In this activity, learners investigate feeding relationships. Learners complete a food web and then make a mobile to represent a food chain.
