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 activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners catch and observe water striders to explore their movement and feeding behaviors.

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

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

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

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 (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Malformed Frogs) is a full inquiry investigation into using indicator species to assess the health of an environment.

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 two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

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.
