Learners use Duplo bricks to build antibodies with shapes that match model viruses.

Marine Skulls Cart
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.

Beach Zonation
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, ocean-side activity, learners investigate the distribution of organisms in the upper region of the intertidal zone.

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

Night Eyes

Terrestrial Hi-Lo Hunt
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners search for the warmest and coolest, windiest and calmest, wettest and driest, and brightest and darkest spots in an area.

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.

Make a Lake
Source Institutions
Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

Great Steamboat Race
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.
