This activity has three story puzzles learners can solve to learn about life in the Arctic.

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

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 sensory activity, learners enjoy the fun of a snow day any season of the year.

In this quick and easy activity and/or demonstration, learners use two empty 2-liter bottles and hot tap water to illustrate the effect of heat on pressure.

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 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.

In this activity, learners will engineer a new shape and use it to create a new pattern with no wasted space.

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 online activity, learners find out whether they are smart enough to survive as a plant.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

This is a quick activity that shows how large amounts of rock and sediment are added to the edge of continents during subduction.

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

This activity introduces learners to Native Americans as people who depended upon nature in the past and continue to emphasize the importance of nature in the present.

In this activity (page 2 of PDF under GPS: Garbology Activity), learners will prepare sheets of homemade recycled paper from several different source pulps.

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 activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.
