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).

In this activity, learners perform an experiment that replicates the dilemma faced by birds in acquiring food from a confined area.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons, anatomy, and locomotion. Learners compare and contrast dinosaur skeletons and drawings.

In this activity, learners are introduced to tree rings by examining a cross section of a tree, also known as a “tree cookie.” They discover how tree age can be determined by studying the rings and ho

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

In this online simulation, learners can see adaptation and camouflage in action.

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.

In this online interactive, learners use fossils to infer temperatures 55 million years ago, at the sites where the fossils were found.

In this activity, learners model directed evolution by making paper fly. Learners construct and fly paper airplanes.

In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this activity, learners make water-walking critters using thin wire, and then test how many paper clips these critters can carry without sinking.

In this very hands-on lesson, learners will investigate dendrochronology (the study of tree rings to answer ecological questions about the recent past) and come up with conclusions as to what possible

In this archaeology meets art activity, learners make a mosaic and consider the ways in which art communicates.

This activity lets learners participate in the process of reconstructing a phylogenetic tree and introduces them to several core bioinformatics concepts, particularly in relation to evolution.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaurs and fossils by creating a diorama.

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons.

In this outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.
