In this great hands-on activity, learners use patterns to make a teepee from newspaper that they sit inside.

In this engineering activity, learners build a device (an anemometer) to measure how fast the wind is blowing.

Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.

Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

In this activity, learners construct a traditional handicraft toy that illustrates a motion commonly associated with violins and earthquakes.

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

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

In this activity on page 12 of the PDF (Rethinking the 3 R’s: It’s Easy to be Green), learners examine how recyclable materials are separated by various properties at recycling centers.

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 use the Sun's energy to cook marshmallows. Learners construct the solar oven out of simple everyday materials.
