In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

In this activity, learners examine body parts (including skin, scales, and skulls) from fish, mammals and reptiles. Questions are provided to help encourage learner investigations.

In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

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 about sea otters, learners make their own "otter whiskers" and use them to find objects underwater.

In this simulation, learners become birds different beak types. Learners use various tools to represent beaks to pick up seeds and place them in a petri dish.

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.

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

In this experiment, pairs of learners explore how cold water affects circulation. The mammalian diving reflex (MDR) slows circulation when the body is exposed to cold water.

In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

While playing a game, learners discover how the Endangered Species Act works in the United States. Learners move along a game board by answering questions correctly.

In this game, students will become familiar with fish shapes, learn that fish within a given taxonomic family have similar body shapes, and discuss how different body shapes enable fish to survive in

In this activity (p.14-15 of PDF), learners discover the concepts of competition and limiting factors as they relate to plant and animal communities.
