Fossilized Dinosaur Teeth Adaptations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use models of fossilized dinosaur teeth to understand how dinosaur teeth were used.

Caution! Wildlife Crossing
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

Identifying Erosion
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

Deer Me: A Predator/Prey Simulation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.

Is That DNA in My Food?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners extract DNA from wheat germ. Use this activity to introduce learners to DNA, biotechnology and genetic engineering.

Classification Line-up
Source Institutions
This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to organize an interactive model for learning the classification system (taxonomy) of living things.

Kelsey: Clues of the Dig Site Map
Source Institutions
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).

Shark Sense of Smell
Source Institutions
This is an activity about our sense of smell and how it compares to sharks' super noses. Learners will create varying solutions of water and perfume.

Glove Gardens
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a garden in a disposable glove. They learn about the conditions necessary to make the seeds sprout and actively participate in caring for their plants.

Create a Dinosaur Name
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how dinosaurs are named and what their names mean. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most.

Planaria Regeneration
Source Institutions
In this experiment with planaria (a type of flatworm), learners will investigate the capability of different body sections to regenerate.

Growing Cooties
Source Institutions
In this health activity (located on page 4 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of hand washing by observing mold growing on potatoes.

Bug Hats
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use their imaginations and experiment with different materials to create bug hats.

Flocking for Food
Source Institutions
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.

Basking Basics
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore reptile biology by taking temperature readings in various places and comparing them.

Slippery Coqui Eggs
Source Institutions
In this activity, multiple learners will use a game with ballloons to learn about coqui frog behavior.

DNA From an Onion
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners extract DNA from an onion, using detergent solution, a food processor, and rubbing alcohol. They will also discuss genetic engineering of plants.

Film Canister Farming
Source Institutions
In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.

Whale Communication Hide and Seek
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners pretend that they are orcas and search for their "pods" using Morse code.
Growing Plants: Track Their Growth
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.
