The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

In this demonstration, learners explore a variation of a Foucault pendulum, but upside down.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

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

This activity helps learners understand how the angle of the Sun affects temperatures around the globe.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to find out if steel wool will weigh more or less when it is burned. Learners will explore the effects of oxidation and rusting on the steel wool.

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 activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this weather activity (page 10 of the PDF), learners will demonstrate the changes in atmospheric pressure by constructing their own barometer.
