In this collecting/comparing activity, learners work with samples of sand from different places like a lakefront, river, or ocean beach.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

In this activity, learners will create their own coral polyps - the basis for a coral reef.

Learners model the ocean currents that carry hot water from the tropics to northern latitudes.

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 (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

In this activity, learners use open inquiry to learn about the process of science as well as gain experience regarding the Law of Conservation of Mass, dissolution, and density.

In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.

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

In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

This creative lesson plan provides a visual way for learners to gain knowledge about the finite amount of fresh water on Earth and encourages the discussion of the various ways to conserve this resour

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