In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

In this activity, learners pretend that they are orcas and search for their "pods" using Morse code.

In this simulation, learners model two elephant seal populations and how they change over time. Learners start with cards representing a variety of seals.

Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate spider webs and feeding behavior, particularly how spiders trap food in their sticky silk webs while not getting stuck themselves.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.

In this health and genetics activity, learners determine whether tasting the bitter compound PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) influences which vegetables a person likes.

Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

Birds' beaks are designed to allow birds to get the most of whatever food they need. In this activity, learners get an idea of how different beak shapes suit different food sources.

In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So
