In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

This lesson plan revolves around studying the speciation of the Galápagos mockingbirds, which are on display at the California Academy of Sciences.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

Learners experiment with a commercial photo-sensitive paper (Sunprint® or NaturePrint® paper). They place opaque and clear objects on the paper and expose it to bright light, observing the results.

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.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

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

This lab activity is about toxic substances like pesticides and their effects on biological systems. The activity starts with an introduction of how birds sequester calcium to make an egg.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

In this online activity, learners find out whether they are smart enough to survive as a plant.

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

In this activity, learners help identify native and non-native plant species, learn about invasive species, and determine how native plants provide a healthier habitat.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

"What's in the Water" lets participants use tools to solve the mystery- what chemicals and compounds are in a sample of water?

In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

In this quick activity, learners practice locating a constellation in a map of very dark skies.
