In this outdoor activity and bingo-like game, learners explore why and how seeds spread far from the plants that produce them.

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this outdoor game, learners role play predator and prey to explore the importance of keen hearing and silent stalking skills in the animal world.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

Bones are stiff, which helps us lift heavy things and walk around, but they are also somewhat flexible, which lets them bend slightly.

In this self-measuring activity, learners measure and record the length of their foot.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover that plants aren't just shoots (stem, branches, leaves, and flowers) growing above ground, but contain plenty of roots growing underground—more than half th

In this outdoor activity, learners discover how the environment around a building affects the growth of plants.

In this self-measuring activity, learners observe and record how many times a minute they blink, take a breath, and chew, as well as how many times a minute their heart beats.

Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.

In this outdoor game, learners role play populations linked in a food chain.

In this activity, learners build a bird feeder or feeders to attract birds for observation.

Some animals can swallow food whole, but humans have to chew. In this activity, learners will investigate what saliva does chemically to food before we even swallow.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

This activity includes several games about animal sounds. Using their sense of hearing and communicating with various kinds of noisemakers, learners role-play predator and prey.

In this outdoor activity that can be combined with a hike, learners try to match a "mystery community" by shaking animals out of different trees and shrubs.

In this activity and/or field trip, learners investigate the water currents that aquatic animals create when they breathe, feed, and propel themselves through water.

In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
