In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

In this activity, learners consider how oil spills behave in the ocean and what impact they have on marine wildlife.

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate the special shapes, holding structures and holding behaviors that real organisms use in streams, rivers, creeks or coast intertidal zones to a

In this activity, learners will investigate the impacts of harmful phytoplankton using NOAA's Coastal Services Center Harmful Algal Bloom Forecasting (HABF) Project data.

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

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

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

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.

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

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

In this simple activity, learners explore ocean waves. To find out if water moves forward toward the shore, learners create waves in a simulated ocean (small aquarium tank of water).

In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.

Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.

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