Plankton Feeding
Source Institutions
This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

Supersize That Dinosaur
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most. Then, learners estimate the size of a Triceratops and T.

Size, Scale and Models
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.
Sea State: Forecast Conditions at Sea
Source Institutions
In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

Smaller Than You Think
Source Institutions
Learners compare a life-size drawing of a Tyrannosaurus rex head and a full-size Sinornithosaurus body to understand that dinosaurs varied in size.

Introduction to Ocean Zones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

Compare Dinosaur Body Parts
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "The Littlest Dinosaurs" by Bernard Most to learn about the different sizes of dinosaurs.

Dinosaur Flesh and Bones
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons.

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

Washing Air
Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.

A Merry-Go-Round for Dirty Air
Learners build a model of a pollution control device--a cyclone. A cyclone works by whirling the polluted air in a circle and accumulating particles on the edges of the container.

Cleaning Air with Balloons
Learners observe a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator. These devices are used for pollutant recovery in cleaning industrial air pollution.

Straining Out the Dirt
Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

Hot Stuff!: Carbon Dioxide Extinguishes a Flame
In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda creating carbon dioxide (CO2) in a bottle. The gas is poured out of a bottle onto a candle flame, putting out the candle.

Atmosphere Composition Model
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

Let's Bag It
Learners observe and discuss a vacuum cleaner as a model of a baghouse, a device used in cleaning industrial air pollution.

Dripping Wet or Dry as a Bone?
Learners investigate the concept of humidity by using a dry and wet sponge as a model. They determine a model for 100% humidity, a sponge saturated with water.

Good News: We're on the Rise!
Learners build a simple aneroid barometer to learn about changes in barometric pressure and weather forecasting. They observe their barometer and record data over a period of days.

Hot Stuff!: Testing for Carbon Dioxide from Our Own Breath
Learners blow into balloons and collect their breath--carbon dioxide gas (CO2). They then blow the CO2 from the balloon into a solution of acid-base indicator.

Moving Without Wheels
In a class demonstration, learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport.
