Design-a-Fish
Source Institutions
In this science and language arts activity, learners study fish anatomy and make their very own 3D paper fish.

Chomp
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 5 of pdf), learners explore the relationships between the shape and structure of a shark's teeth and the food it eats, and then create their own shark tooth from clay.

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

Quick Frozen Critters
