How do scientists measure how clear or murky water in a lake is? How does water clarity (clearness) affect what lives in the lake?

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

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

This is a guide for facilitating interaction at a touch tank with marine animals. The instructions are for setting up a display in an informal science center, but could work anywhere.

In this card-based personal choice activity, learners review and sort COVID-19 and vaccine science information.

In this activity, learners observe fly behavior and then build a flytrap.

In this activity, learners cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

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

In this activity, learners observe mixtures of sand samples glued to note cards, and consider how sand can differ in size, shape, and color, and where it comes from.

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

Learners make self-assembled polymer spheres as a model for the lipid nanoparticles found in COVID-19 mRNA vaccines.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this activity, learners observe live fish in tanks to consider how their body structures are related to their behaviors and habitats.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.
