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 outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into organisms and the health of their ecosystems.

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

In this activity, learners make a model of a pollution spill that occurred at Bangs Lake in Mississippi and measure water quality parameters in their model.

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 provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this activity on page 7 of the PDF, learners investigate the solubility of gas in water at different temperatures. This experiment will help learners determine if temperature affects solubility.

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 field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

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

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

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.
