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.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this activity, learners will test cups full of potting soil, sand, and sphagnum moss to see which earth material is able to soak up the most water.

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 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?

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.

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.

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

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

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

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into design optimization using recycled materials.

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

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 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.
