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

In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

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

In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.

In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.

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

In this activity, learners experience firsthand how marine animals' adaptive coloration camouflages them from prey.

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 activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.
