In this activity, learners will be introduced to citizen science projects that can be done from home.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

In this simulation, learners model two elephant seal populations and how they change over time. Learners start with cards representing a variety of seals.

In this activity, learners will reuse plastic bags in an interesting way.

In this activity, learners work in groups to design a parachute out of household items that keeps an egg secure when dropped from a certain height.
