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 environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

In this outdoor, night activity, learners track nocturnal animals' footprints, droppings and other signs of their presence.

In this inquiry-based lesson, learners measure the biomass of trees, calculate the carbon stored by the trees, and use this information to create recommendations about using trees for carbon sequestra

In this outdoor, freshwater activity, learners explore the behavior and food preferences of crawdads (or crabs) by "fishing" for them with various baits.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Butterfly Wings Activity) that illustrates how nanoscale structures, so small they're practically invisible, can produce visible/colorful effects.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this activity, learners explore how casts of fossilized bones are created and used to learn about dinosaurs. Learners make observations, draw diagrams and share their findings.

In this outdoor activity, learners review the parts of the synapse and their functions by playing a game.

In this activity, learners create a xylophone by filling glasses with different amounts of water and tapping them with a metal spoon.

In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this health activity, learners explore breathing, lungs and asthma. Learners test their lung capacity by blowing air into balloons.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

In this activity, learners use whale count data from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary to compare whale counts in relation to environmental factors.

In this robotics activity, learners find ways to express emotions and feelings using only body movements, not facial expressions.

In this activity, learners investigate feeding relationships. Learners complete a food web and then make a mobile to represent a food chain.

In this activity, learners simulate the process of DNA fingerprinting by using electricity to separate colored dyes.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

This is a quick activity (on page 2 of the PDF under Stained Glass Activity) about the "Tyndall effect," the scattering of visible light when it hits very small dispersed particles.

In this activity, learners practice counting and multiplication as they figure out how many animal body parts they have to examine as "Dr. Vet."
