In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

Plants need nutrients to grow. This is why we apply fertilizers to grass and food crops. In this activity, learners will explore how fertilizers can affect lakes and other bodies of water.

In this activity learners will create paint out of natural materials. Explore your natural world (or your fridge) and find berries, leaves, or flowers to find a great base for your paint.

Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

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

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.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this online activity, learners find out whether they are smart enough to survive as a plant.

In this outdoor activity and observation game, learners hunt for a variety of textures, colors, odors and evidence of organisms in the activity site.

This guide outlines how to plant a garden even if you don't have a yard!

In this activity, learners will build a design and build a place for pollinators to drink from.

In this activity, learners will test soil content using their sample, some water and a container that seals.

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

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

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.

Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

Learners compare the properties and solubilities of Styrofoam (TM), ecofoam packing peanuts, and popcorn. First, the solubility of each substance is tested in water.
