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 outdoor activity/field trip, learners conduct experiments to explore where dragonflies and damselflies perch or rest, and how the flies change behavior in reaction to other flies or fly decoys

In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.

In this activity, learners assemble large cubes to make nano-related images. Learners discover how different objects are related to nanoscience and nanotechnology.

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

In this activity, learners will create a home for animal friends in their backyard using recycled materials. Some material suggestions include: pine straw and twigs.

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

When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.

In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.

By participating in a seed scavenger hunt, learners examine many adaptations of seeds, including how many seeds a plant makes, how those seeds travel to new locations, and what protects them from pred

In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.

In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.

The Sacred Cenote at Chichén Itzá is a sink hole, or well, containing groundwater. In this activity, learners create their own cenote using chalk, limestone, acids, and rain water.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

Lakes, streams and other freshwater bodies are a habitat for lots of living things, big and small.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this outdoor activity, learners saw sections from fallen trees, then count tree rings and look closely at patterns of tree growth.
