In this activity, learners observe live fish in tanks to consider how their body structures are related to their behaviors and habitats.

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 cut out and assemble wheels to explore how variations in fish body structures (mouth shape/position/teeth, body shape, tail shape, and coloration patterns) allow fish to sur

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

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.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

In this outdoor activity, learners become beachcombers as they walk on a sandy beach in search of evidence of life.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore an aquatic site such as a pond, lake, stream, river or seashore to find and investigate plants and animals that live in water.
