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

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

In this outdoor activity, learners cut through and investigate rotten logs and then make log-profile puzzles for each other.

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

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

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, learners gain a better understanding of how household/school waste breaks down in a landfill. Learners collect trash and then create miniature landfills in 2-liter bottles.

Use the Zoo Calendar (page 1 of PDF) to involve learners in interdisciplinary, whole language, and writing activities about ecological concepts.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners explore the Great Plains.

In this activity, learners identify different plastics in a mystery bag. Learners discover that plastics are classified #1 through #7.

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

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

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

In this activity, learners practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation while learning why ice formations on land (not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting.

In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.
