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

This activity (located on page 2 of PDF) introduces learners to the real size of animals using nonstandard measurement.

In this outdoor activity, learners use artificial bees and paper models of flowers to find out how bees transfer pollen from one flower to another.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

In this outdoor, warm weather activity, learners use sweepnets to search a grassy area such as a large lawn or field, collecting small animals to find as many different kinds of animals as possible.

In this outdoor activity, learners make models of homes that might protect small animals from the elements, then search living plants for real structures made by small animals.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

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, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

In this outdoor activity that can be combined with a hike, learners try to match a "mystery community" by shaking animals out of different trees and shrubs.

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 outdoor fall activity, learners find out what living in or under a layer of leaves is like.

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, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this activity, learners use earthworms as "unknown creatures" from the South American jungle to find out how animals use senses.
