Chilean Sea Bass: Off the Menu
Source Institutions
In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

Avogadro's Bubbly Adventure
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

Moldy Jell-O
Source Institutions
In this laboratory activity, learners design an experiment to evaluate how environmental factors influence the growth of molds.

Gaming in the Outdoors
Source Institutions
In this set of outdoor games, learners increase their awareness of the outdoor environment by going on a scavenger hunt and an out-of-place hunt.
Harmful Algal Blooms: In Full Bloom
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will investigate the impacts of harmful phytoplankton using NOAA's Coastal Services Center Harmful Algal Bloom Forecasting (HABF) Project data.

Pea Brain!: Explorations in Estimation
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use two different techniques to estimate how many little things fit into one bigger thing.

Hot Stuff!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover that sand is the major ingredient in glass.

Sail Car Design
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Sailboat Design Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization.

Reebops
Source Institutions
In this genetics activity, learners create imaginary creatures known as "Reebops" to explore the relationships between genes and inherited traits.

Exploring at the Nanoscale
Source Institutions
This lesson focuses on how nanotechnology has impacted our society and how engineers have learned to explore the world at the nanoscale.

We all Scream for Ice Cream
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

Trash Talkin'
In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

Survival of the Fittest: Variations in the Clam Species Clamys sweetus

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection by encouraging them to formulate questions that can be answered through scientific investi
Piece It Together: Puzzle Hunt
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners follow clues to find five puzzle pieces, then assemble them. This activity works well with a whole group, individuals, or families.

Sustainable Fishing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

Investigating and Using Biomass Gases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.

Demonstrating An Epidemic
Source Institutions
This experiment allows learners to experience a small scale "epidemic," demonstrating the ease with which disease organisms are spread, and enables learners to determine the originator of the "epidemi

Survival of the Fittest: Battling Beetles
Source Institutions
This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.

Electricity: Fruit Batteries
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a battery from fruit. This activity helps learners explore electricity, electrochemistry, and series circuits as well as the process of scientific inquiry.

Wintergreen
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, winter activity, learners find living green plants under the snow and determine the light and temperature conditions around the plants.
