This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.

Investigate a flower's power of marketing by making an imitation flower that successfully signals a bee (or other pollinator of your choice) to visit.

In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

Dig a hole, line it, fill it with fresh water, and you have a water hole: a good place to study colonization.

In this outdoor activity and bingo-like game, learners explore why and how seeds spread far from the plants that produce them.

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

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for lichen, a combination of a fungus and an alga living together. Lichen grow where most other plants cannot, on rocks, the trunks of trees, logs and sand.

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

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

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 will explore reptile biology by taking temperature readings in various places and comparing them.

In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

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 inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra

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, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

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