Water, whether fresh or salty, serves as one of the best electrical conductors on the planet. Does salt effect its conductivity?

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this physics crime lab or demonstration, learners pretend they are criminologists and must find the "muzzle velocity" (speed of the bullet as it leaves the gun) of a gun used to commit a crime.

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers have met the challenge of keeping foods, liquids, and other items cool.

In this data collection activity about crabs, learners use data from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) trawl survey to determine the areas of the Chesapeake Bay that are being used by bl

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

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.
