Wheat Evolution: Sedimentation Testing
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 30 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by conducting sedimentation tests on different flours.

Grabbing a Bite to Eat
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners perform an experiment that replicates the dilemma faced by birds in acquiring food from a confined area.
The Earth's Timeline
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).

Dinosaur Sock Puppet
Source Institutions
In this activity about dinosaurs, learners first participate in a group discussion about where and when dinosaurs lived, how big they were, and who studies them and how.

The Great Fossil Find
Source Institutions
On an imaginary fossil hunt, learners "find" (remove from envelope) paper "fossils" of some unknown creature, only a few at a time.

Moisture Makers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners compare the moisture released from different kinds of leaves and from different parts of the same leaf, by observing the color change of cobalt chloride paper.

Food Grab
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners design devices that will catch prey or gather plants.

Dogs and More Dogs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play an evolution card game to see how selective pressures can affect an organism's evolution.

Nowhere to Hide
Source Institutions
In this online simulation, learners can see adaptation and camouflage in action.

Seashell Journal
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make homemade journals featuring seashell rubbings. First, learners transfer the texture of a seashell onto a piece of paper using a crayon.

How We Know What The Dinosaurs Looked Like: How Fossils Were Formed
Source Institutions
In this activity (p.7-8 of PDF), learners examine fossil formation.

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

Dress Like a Frog
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will discover what it takes to be a frog. By dressing up like one, learners can visualize how each part of the frog plays an important role in surviving its habitat.

Air-filled (Pneumatic) Bone Experiments
Source Institutions
Just like birds, some dinosaurs had air-filled (pneumatic) bones, which made the dinosaurs' skeletons lighter.

Wheat Evolution: Dough Washing
Source Institutions
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.

Wheat Evolution: Dough Rising and Baking
Source Institutions
In this activity (Page 25 of PDF), learners investigate the evolution of wheat by creating dough from different flours, observing the samples of dough as they rise, and then baking the dough.

Monster Evolution
Source Institutions
In this online activity, learners create monsters and see how they survived when released into the wild.

Gene Switches
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how genetic switches function and the role of genetic switches in the process of evolution.

Partners in Pollination
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners identify the reproductive parts of plants and the animal (bee) structures involved in pollination.

Fishy Observations
Source Institutions
In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits), learners will visit a zoo, aquarium, or pet store to view a variety of fish.
