In this activity, learners will use Google Sky to observe features of the night sky and share their observations.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

This lesson plan revolves around studying the speciation of the Galápagos mockingbirds, which are on display at the California Academy of Sciences.

In this environmental activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners identify household products that are recyclable and explore the different types of recyclable plastics.

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

In this online interactive, learners use fossils to infer temperatures 55 million years ago, at the sites where the fossils were found.

In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

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

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners calculate their water usage (in cups and galloons) during an average shower. Learners also chart and analyze water usage during showers in their households.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Where's Nano? Activity) about identifying nanoscale objects and phenomena in today's world.

Water, whether fresh or salty, serves as one of the best electrical conductors on the planet. Does salt effect its conductivity?

This activity offers learners and their families several ways to raise their awareness together about home water.

In this weather forecasting activity, learners determine the location of cold and warm fronts on weather plot maps.

In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.

In this lesson, learners will practice graphing and statistically analyzing data.

In this activity, learners will explore trends in shark populations using shark landing data from the National Marine Fisheries Service.
