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

Role-playing the parts of chromosomes and centrioles, learners use large chromosome models and nylon cords (spindle fibers and cell membranes) to walk through the processes of mitosis and meiosis.

In this outdoor activity and game, learners explore how animals adapt for survival through coloration, markings and camouflage.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.

Using zebra mussels (Dreissena polymorpha), elodea and an indicator dye, learners study the role of light in photosynthesis.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.

In this activity/demo, learners investigate biobarcodes, a nanomedical technology that allows for massively parallel testing that can assist with disease diagnosis.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.

In this activity (Page 22 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by washing different types of dough with water and comparing the results.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

In this activity, learners explore color, light and shadow by creating their own puppets to hold in front of a light source.

In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

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 outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
