In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

This activity has learners interacting with live crayfish, but could be adapted for a variety of similar hardy and interesting organisms.

In this activity, learners look at and touch marine animal skulls to compare them and think about what they eat.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this activity, learners observe mixtures of sand samples glued to note cards, and consider how sand can differ in size, shape, and color, and where it comes from.

This is a guide for facilitating interaction at a touch tank with marine animals. The instructions are for setting up a display in an informal science center, but could work anywhere.

In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

The objective of this inquiry-based lesson is for learners to gain an understanding of how increasing ocean acidity can affect the calcification of marine organisms.

In this activity, learners interact with whale artifacts such as replicas of skulls, bones, teeth, and baleen (hair-like plates that form a feeding filter).

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.
