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.

In this yummy biology activity (page 3 of the PDF), learners participate in a demonstration of natural selection.

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

In this activity (Page 22 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by washing different types of dough with water and comparing the results.

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 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 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.

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

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
