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.

Learners will build a lung model to understand how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe.

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

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 clouds and how they form.

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

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 make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this online interactive, learners use fossils to infer temperatures 55 million years ago, at the sites where the fossils were found.

In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.
