It's a Gas, Man
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover if carbon dioxide has an effect on temperature.
Coastal Erosion: Where's the Beach?
Source Institutions
Learners use beach profile data from a local beach or online data from Ocean City, Maryland to investigate coastal erosion and sediment transport.
Clean Water: Is It Drinkable?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.
Bouncy Egg
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how acids can dissolve eggshells leaving behind a membrane-covered bouncy egg.
Single Serving Volcanism
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners eat a snack and make a model of the plumbing system of a volcano.
The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.
How Big is Small
Source Institutions
In this classic hands-on activity, learners estimate the length of a molecule by floating a fatty acid (oleic acid) on water.
Running in Circles
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners use some common objects and work together to simulate the Coriolis effect. During the challenge, learners make predictions and test different scenarios.
Fossil Fuels: Facing the Issues
Source Institutions
Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.
Shell Shifts
Source Institutions
Ocean acidification is a big issue due to the amount of carbon dioxide humans release. CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed into the ocean thus changing its acidity.
Amazon Water Cycle Roleplay
Source Institutions
In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.
What is Light?
Source Institutions
In this four-part activity, learners will discover the exciting world of light--the most important form of energy in our world--and be able to identify and describe different types of light.
Rock Pioneers
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.
Submarine: Soda Cup Lander
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2), learners create a submarine using a plastic cup. This is a fun way to learn about buoyancy and density.
Physics in the Sky: Physics on a Plane
Source Institutions
On an airplane trip, learners have an opportunity to investigate the properties of air pressure at different altitudes.
Coral, Carbon Dioxide and Calcification
Source Institutions
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.
Design and Build a Barometer
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners make a barometer, an instrument to measure change in air pressure.
Crunch Time
Source Institutions
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.
Percentage of Oxygen in the Air
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.
Deep Sea Diver
Source Institutions
In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.
