In this activity (Page 30 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by conducting sedimentation tests on different flours.

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that replicates the dilemma faced by birds in acquiring food from a confined area.

Professor John Endler traveled to Trinidad in the 1970s to study wild guppies. In this activity, learners take part in an online simulation of Endler's work.

In this creativity-based activity, learners imagine what the Earth will look like in the near and distant future, then design their own future habitat and creatures that may live there.

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this activity (p.7-8 of PDF), learners examine fossil formation.

In this activity, learners play an evolution card game to see how selective pressures can affect an organism's evolution.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

Learners model the processes that formed some of Earth's largest mountain ranges: the Himalayas, the Andes, and the Alps.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this interactive activity, learners analyze seashells to explore phylogeny and evolution. Learners identify similar and dissimilar seashells to create a phylogenetic tree.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this online activity exploring our perception of "cuteness," learners adjust various factors (like pupil size or length of limbs) on a face, a cat, and a hammer.

In this activity (Page 25 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by creating dough from different flours, observing the samples of dough as they rise, and then baking the dough.

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

In this online simulation, learners can see adaptation and camouflage in action.

In this guided discussion activity, learners watch a video about Central Africa's Lower Congo River, one of the most biologically diverse rivers in the world.

Learners cut out pictures of continents and attempt to put them together to form Pangaea, the supercontinent present on the Earth approximately 300 million years ago.

In this online activity, learners discover how random variation influences biological evolution.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.
