Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

In this activity, learners build a model of a self-sustaining habitat (growing grass and beans from seeds).

In this activity, learners compare plant and animal life in different habitats including a sidewalk crack and lawn. Learners sort human-made materials and natural materials found in each habitat.

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 build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners explore the concept of population density.

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

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.

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.

During this interactive "survival" game, students learn about the importance of camouflage and how it helps animals to blend into their surroundings, as either predator or prey.

This activity helps the learner answer the question: "What environmental problems arise due to animal and human overpopulation and what might need to be done to combat these problems?" Learners play a
