In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

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

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.

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

In this family or group inquiry activity, learners use their senses to explore a local forest or woodland.

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.

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

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

In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

The purpose of this plant biotechnology activity is to demonstrate the effect of changes in the environment on the growth and fertility of landscape grasses and crop grasses such as wheat and rice.

In this lab exercise, learners explore diffusion, cell membranes and particle size using beets and three alcohols.

In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use the tissue culture process to rapidly produce clones (genetic copies) of a particular plant (cauliflower, rose cuttings, African violet le

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

In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

In this activity, learners test the rate of ripening fruit and vegetables and use a chemical to inhibit the ripening process.

This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

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

In this multi-faceted game (on pages 25-35), learners recreate what happens to creatures in the Brazilian rain forest as they grow from egg to adult—especially those that use fallen, empty Brazil nut
