Tree Growth Investigation
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into tree growth rates.

Clipbirds
Source Institutions
In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.

Biodiversity and Evolutionary Trees
Source Institutions
In this interactive activity, learners analyze seashells to explore phylogeny and evolution. Learners identify similar and dissimilar seashells to create a phylogenetic tree.

Plankton Races
Source Institutions
In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

Create Your Own Time Capsule
Source Institutions
In this archaeology-related activity, learners build their own time capsule and choose a storage location and a date to reopen it.

Mint Your Own Coin
Source Institutions
Coins are everyday objects which tell a lot about the people who use them.

Personal Time Line
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.

Eat Like a Bird
Source Institutions
Birds' beaks are designed to allow birds to get the most of whatever food they need. In this activity, learners get an idea of how different beak shapes suit different food sources.

Buried Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity, pairs of learners will create two make-believe dig sites by burying chicken bones in plaster of Paris--a powder that hardens when wet.

Fossil Dig Site
Source Institutions
In this activity (located on page 5 of PDF), learners work in groups to create dig sites for display.

Coral Polyp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own coral polyps - the basis for a coral reef.
Build a Borneo Glider
Source Institutions
In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

Pósteres Sobre Animales y Matemáticas
Source Institutions
Exponga estos pósteres en el salón o déjelos donde los chicos los puedan explorar. Los chicos buscan las respuestas en libros de consulta o en línea.

Salt Water Revival
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

Afterimage
Source Institutions
In this activity about vision and optical illusions, learners conduct a simple test to demonstrate how our eyes create "afterimages." Learners stare at a black cardboard bat for at least 30 seconds an
Fish Eyes: More than Meets the Eye
Source Institutions
In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

A Universe Without Supernovae
Source Institutions
This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity illustrates the value of supernovae in the universe.

Tomb Mapping
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners examine the culture and history of the tomb site.

Looking Back Through Time
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create their own archaeological profiles.

Control a Bird’s Flight
Source Institutions
In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.
