Fossilized Dinosaur Teeth Adaptations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

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

Aye-Aye
Source Institutions
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.

Wetlands
Source Institutions
Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

It's All About Birds
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own bird species using arts and crafts materials. The bird call recordings are not online so the introduction activity can't be done, but everything else can.

Food Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

Nowhere to Hide
Source Institutions
In this online simulation, learners can see adaptation and camouflage in action.

Seashell Journal
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make homemade journals featuring seashell rubbings. First, learners transfer the texture of a seashell onto a piece of paper using a crayon.

Dress Like a Frog
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover what it takes to be a frog. By dressing up like one, learners can visualize how each part of the frog plays an important role in surviving its habitat.

Amphibian Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

Extreme Lifestyles
Source Institutions
In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

Monster Evolution
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners create monsters and see how they survived when released into the wild.

Beach Finds Curiosity Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe hard parts of sea creatures (shells, molts, etc.) to better understand marine environments.

Not Just A Bag Of Beans
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

What Lives Here
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore an aquatic site such as a pond, lake, stream, river or seashore to find and investigate plants and animals that live in water.

Make Your Own Sea Otter
Source Institutions
In this activity about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.

Whale Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners interact with whale artifacts such as replicas of skulls, bones, teeth, and baleen (hair-like plates that form a feeding filter).

Flower Engineers
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 24-29) combines science and art to introduce learners to how different animal pollinators spread pollen from one plant to another, and how certain shapes, colors, and smells of

The Beaks of the Finches
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

Shark Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners touch and observe skulls of sharks and rays to learn about their diversity (over 400 species of sharks alone!).
