In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

Learners use beach profile data from a local beach or online data from Ocean City, Maryland to investigate coastal erosion and sediment transport.

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.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this activity, learners review and discuss weathering, erosion and mass wasting, to gain a stronger understanding of how Hickory Run’s Boulder Field was formed after the Laurentide Continental Glac

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this activity, learners use aluminum trays and wooden blocks to form stream tables to investigate river formations in two different landscape scenarios.

Based on color photographic images, learners compare geological features on Earth and Mars to understand similarities and differences between the two planets, and consider the forces that created land

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.

In this multi-station lab, learners conduct a series of experiments to explore the processes and effects of weathering and erosion.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

In this highly physical outdoor activity, learners construct and compare experimental trail sections to select the best trail-construction technique for their site.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.
