In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

In this activity, learners will investigate the part of soil. Explore how clay, silt, and sand make up the dirt in your background. Activity includes step-by-step instructions and extension ideas.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity, learners test exhaled breath for carbon dioxide and learn how to use an indicator as a simple way to measure pH.

In this activity, learners build an instrument for catching and observing flies. Learners act as entomologists, attract flies into a jar using a slice of apple, and then observe the flies' behavior.

In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

In this design challenge activity, learners explore the concept of biomimicry by using a natural organism's special features to design a new human object.

In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth.

In this activity, learners participate in several full-body interactive games to model the process of self-assembly in nature and nanotechnology.

In this activity, learners will explore trends in shark populations using shark landing data from the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Some bugs can walk on the surface of a lake, stream, river, pond or ocean.

This is part 1 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity. In this activity, learners explore how sedimentary rocks form.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

In this activity, learners examine nanoscale structures of common things.

In this activity, learners investigate how some butterfly wings get their color.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.
