In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

In this activity about the brain and sleep (on page 138 of the PDF), learners measure their resting breathing rates. Learners will discover that breathing frequencies vary amongst individuals.

This activity (on pages 35-43) lets learners analyze a "herd of elk" to detect the spread of a bacterial disease called brucellosis.

This modeling activity allows learners to discover for themselves what Mendel uncovered in his famous pea experiments.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur fossils and a dig site. Learners work in groups to analyze a dig site map and match bones to a skeletal drawing of Kelsey (a Triceratops).

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

This investigation provides learners with a hands-on activity that simulates the changing relationship of surface areas-to-volume for a growing cell.

In this activity, learners work in teams to study the observation skills essential to scientific research.

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 math lesson, learners explore the concept of using units to measure length. Learners first read "How Big is a Foot" by Rolf Myller and learn about units.

In this activity related to the human circulatory system (on page 10 of the PDF), learners observe the dispersion of a drop of food coloring in water, draw conclusions about the movement of dissolved

In this activity, learners estimate risks associated with different events and compare their estimates to the real possibilities.

In this activity (18th on the page), learners conduct an experiment to examine memory.

This is an activity about the adaptations that allow the Aye-aye to survive in its habitat. Learners will explore how the Aye-aye collects food and how this is influenced by their specialized finger.

In this outdoor activity, learners find, count and compare as many different kinds of animals as they can find in two different areas: a managed lawn and a weedy area.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.
