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

In this activity, learners observe tide pool animals in a touch tank to consider how they survive.

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

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

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.

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 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 biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this outdoor activity and animal-role-play game, learners discover and uncover the hidden world of "cryptozoa"—organisms such as spiders, salamanders and slugs that live under objects, like rocks a

In this outdoor activity, learners use a "litter-critter" wheel to help them identify different animals they find living in a natural litter habitat.

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 outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.

In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.

In this family or group activity, learners create a nature journal by visiting a local nature center or backyard, observing creatures in their natural habitats, and sketching what they see.

This is an activity where learners will discover what types and how many insects live in their own backyard.
