In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners experiment and observe how the color of materials that cover the Earth affects the amounts of sunlight our planet absorbs.

In this activity, learners are introduced to tree rings by examining a cross section of a tree, also known as a “tree cookie.” They discover how tree age can be determined by studying the rings and ho

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

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 observe the effect of transpiration as water is moved from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

This activity models the mass coral spawning event that takes place at Flower Garden Banks National Marine Sanctuary every August.

In this activity (on page 1), learners role play as atoms to explore how atoms can be rearranged to make different materials.

In this 6-7 day investigation, learners begin with an introduction to seamounts that are present in the Gulf of Alaska.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

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.

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

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.
