In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity), learners will pair up and take a notebook outdoors to a selected location to observe and record a list of living things that t

Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.

In this activity related to climate change and data analysis, learners examine temperature and precipitation data to determine if climate variations are due to El Niño.

In this activity, learners investigate how wolves communicate with each other through different body postures.

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

In this activity, learners draw natural objects to explore the details, differences, and similarities of natural objects.

In this indoor and outdoor activity, learners discover that insects grow and develop as do all living things, going through a process known as complete metamorphosis.

This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits), learners will visit a zoo, aquarium, or pet store to view a variety of fish.

In this interactive game, learners listen to the songs of four different thrushes and then try to match each bird with its song.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore the world of insects and other "bugs" by Making a "bug hotel" with recycled objects.

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this activity, learners use a microscope to examine three different microbes: bacteria, yeast and paramecia. Educator will need to prepare the yeast solution one day before the activity.

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.
