In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this biology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners will determine whether they are "tasters" or "non-tasters", test selected individuals from their families and peer group for the trait, and chart

In this activity, learners discover the primary physical properties used to separate pure substances from mixtures.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this design challenge, learners will use microbes to design and grow a custom biomaterial at home and make something creative with it.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.
