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

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

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

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

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

In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

This is an outdoor activity designed to demonstrate evolution of feeding behavior in flocking, schooling or herding animals that maximizes allocation of food resources and enhances survival.

In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.

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

In order to examine the random nature of mutations and natural selection, learners "breed" clutches of Egyptian Origami Birds (Avis papyrus) using random number generators (dice and coins) to mutate s

To convey the concept of how animals adapt to survive, this game asks learners to imagine what adaptations a given animal would need to live in a certain environment—including environments where such

In this laboratory exercise, learners will discover how many different plant hosts they can find that are infected by the same genus of a powdery mildew fungus, or how many different genera of powdery

In this activity (p.5-6 of PDF), learners investigate natural selection. Learners discover that natural selection, which takes place over decades, can lead to altered populations within a species.

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.

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 activity, leaners will observe the process of natural selection on a population of birds called 'Springbeaks' over four seasons of breeding on an isolated environment called 'Clippy Island.' L

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

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.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.
