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

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

This resource contains ideas and brief instructions on how to build animals out of construction paper and other simple materials.

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

In this engineering design challenge, learners build an octopus-inspired suction pad that can grab an object and hold it tightly in the air.

In this activity, learners build a figure that moves and "comes to life" when they pull its string.

In this activity, learners explore chemiluminescence and fluorescence. Learners examine 3 different solutions in regular light, in the dark with added bleach solution, and under a black light.

In this activity about living things and gravity (page 5 of PDF), learners design and build an exoskeleton or an endoskeleton for an animal of their own invention.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So

In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.

In this engineering design challenge, learners make a bird and then control its flight with attached strings.

In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

In this activity (page 89 of the PDF), learners compare and contrast pitch and roll motions by using a Magic Carpet maze similar to one that was used for Neurolab investigations about microgravity.

This activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into testing a repair material.

In this activity, learners use found natural materials to create a water haven for bees and other insects.
