In this activity, learners will be working with predictions with a time frame of one week, or longer. Start by planting seedlings.

The goal of this activity is to design, build and test a house or toy for an animal.

Learners use a variety of beans to represent a variety of species, and scatter these beans over a large piece of paper representing the environment.

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 related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

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 test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

In this data collection activity about crabs, learners use data from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) trawl survey to determine the areas of the Chesapeake Bay that are being used by bl

In this activity, learners will turn an ordinary tray of sand into a desk-top garden for meditation.

In this activity, learners will exercise their imaginations and artistic skills. Appropriate for all ages, learners will create unique pieces to jumpstart storytelling sessions.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

Learners use simple materials to construct a model the Big Dipper. Learners hang the model from a doorway or ceiling and look up at it to see the constellation as seen from Earth.

This activity (page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: California Fish) is a full inquiry investigation into environmental adaptation.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

In this math activity, learners collect, organize, and analyze a set of data related to types of animals in the temperate forest.

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.
