Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

In this activity, learners calculate the number of milliliters of water a nearby tree transpires per day.

In this activity, learners observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

In this activity, learners investigate and compare the rate of drying in different conditions.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

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 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.

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

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 math lesson (on Page 13), learners predict and simulate the likelihood of an event occurring.

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