This fun hands-on astronomy activity lets learners use star maps (included) to find constellations and to identify stars with extrasolar planets (Northern Hemisphere only, naked eye).

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.

In this activity, learners use multiple thermometers, placed at different angles, and a lamp to investigate why some places on Earth's surface are much hotter than others.

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 design a flag for a chosen or assigned planet. The instructions include information about flags on Earth, and a list of flag references.

In this online activity, learners adjust mountain snowfall and temperature to see how glaciers grow and shrink. They will use scientific tools to measure thickness, velocity and glacial budget.

This simple, yet surprising physics demonstration challenges preconceptions about forces, and demonstrates the strength of atmospheric pressure.

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

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

This fun and simple hands-on astronomy activity lets learners create 3D models of the Earth, Moon and Sun to demonstrate solar and lunar eclipses.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of density and pressure. A "diver" constructed out of a piece of straw and Blu-Tack will bob inside a bottle filled with water.

In this demonstration, learners observe the effects of air pressure. They will watch as marshmallows inside a bottle expand as a vacuum pump removes air from the bottle.

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

In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).

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 data activity, learners will explore shipwrecks from four National Marine Sanctuaries on the West Coast of the United States.
