In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

Millions of organisms can live in and around a body of water.

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.

Professor John Endler traveled to Trinidad in the 1970s to study wild guppies. In this activity, learners take part in an online simulation of Endler's work.

Learners use beach profile data from a local beach or online data from Ocean City, Maryland to investigate coastal erosion and sediment transport.

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

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this set of outdoor games, learners play the role of monkeys that are trying to get enough resources (food, shelter, and space) to survive.

In this cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate spider webs and feeding behavior, particularly how spiders trap food in their sticky silk webs while not getting stuck themselves.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this activity, learners collect worms and then observe how they move.

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

In this simulation of natural selection, learners use binder clips in three different sizes to represent the diversity of beak sizes in a bird population.

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this outdoor, ocean-side activity, learners investigate the distribution of organisms in the upper region of the intertidal zone.

In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.
