In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils by making cast models of a T. rex. First, learners read about and research how dinosaur fossils form.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF (Chemistry—It’s Elemental), learners use iodine to identify foods that contain starch.

In this multi-step experiment (page 4 of pdf), learners study tide pools, and then drop a "wave" (a 4-pound bag of beans or birdseed) on a shell to mimic the force of crashing surf on tide pool animal

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

In this outdoor, mystery-solving activity, learners work like detectives, gathering evidence to identify the culprits that are attacking plants.

In this activity, learners create a biosphere in a baggie.

In this activity (p.24 of PDF), learners make paper with fungi. Learners discover that paper is basically a flat mat of fibers.

This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.

In this activity, learners observe and describe the physical and behavioral characteristics of insects, including crickets.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

Learners investigate the properties of the liquids in two bottles. One contains layers of oil and water, and one contains oil, water, and soap.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

In this graphing exercise (page 2 of the pdf), learners compare their own height to the length of various sharks.

In this activity (page 4 of the pdf), learners build a model of a tide pool, using chicken wire, paper mache, and other craft materials.

Learners discover that their breath contains carbon dioxide, one of the pollutants found in car exhaust.

In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.

In this food science activity, learners observe different plant-originated foods.

This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, learners explore the web of connections among living and non-living things.
