In this activity, learners make their own bug boxes and test the habitat preference of selected "minibeasts" (bugs).

In this activity, learners start their own field journal to better understand the wildlife in their area.

In this activity, learners measure and calculate the amount of cubic feet various containers contain. Next, learners investigate cubic feet per second (cps), by carrying jugs in one second.

In this activity, learners capture and observe planaria, which are worms that eat tiny pond critters.

In this activity, learners use crayons to draw conclusions about rocks and the rock cycle.

In this activity, learners will investigate and compare the root systems of plants. Explore how weed and edible plant roots differ, and take a closer look inside with the careful use of a knife!

In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners examine the effects of pollution on amphipods using data from the Chesapeake Ecotox Research Program.

This is an activity where learners will discover what types and how many insects live in their own backyard.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

In this quick activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Lava Flow Activity), learners will model how large depressions near the top of a volcano are formed by using an inflating and deflating balloon submerg

This activity gets learners looking at 6-sided shapes in nature, including the cells of a beehive, as well as other shapes.

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

In this activity, learners explore the behavior of cold-blooded animals. Learners discover what happens when they change a fly's temperature.

In this creativity-based activity, learners imagine what the Earth will look like in the near and distant future, then design their own future habitat and creatures that may live there.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.

In this outdoor activity, learners discover the wonders of the habitat surrounding them.

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

In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.
