Fossilized Dinosaur Teeth Adaptations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.
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.
Habitat Adaptation Matchup
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in small groups to match various marine animals with their different environments.
Desert Water Keepers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.
Amphibian Skin
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.
Biodiversity of Feet
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity.
Bird Beak Buffet
Source Institutions
In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.
Marine Skulls Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.
Clipbirds
Source Institutions
In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.
Plants: Hanging Tough
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge
Sensational Seaweed
Source Institutions
In this culinary activity, learners use multiple senses (sight, smell, touch, and taste!) to explore real seaweed samples.
Build a Borneo Glider
Source Institutions
In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So
Invent a Plant
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.
Design a Fish
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity), learners will study the adaptations different fish species have developed to survive in their habitats.
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.
Food Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.
Scavenger Hunt: A Group Collection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are divided into teams.
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).
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.
Follow the Scent
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories
