Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

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.

In this group activity, learners will explore the characteristics, functions and uniqueness of the mangrove tree.

In this activity, learners investigate how increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity (pH) of the ocean and affecting coral reefs and other marin

In the wild, small crustaceans known as brine shrimp live in marine habitats such as saltwater lakes.

In this group activity, learners consider environmental conditions—temperature, presence of water, atmosphere, sunlight, and chemical composition—on planets and moons in our solar system to determine

In this outdoor activity, learners go "can fishing" and discover the kinds of aquatic organisms that live in and on submerged cans.

In this activity (located at the bottom of the page), learners investigate soil and explore the creatures that live in it.

In this activity, learners create a freshwater ecosystem in a large plastic bottle. Learners cut and prepare bottles, then fill with water, aquatic plants, snails and fish.

In this activity, learners take an indoor nature walk and discover various objects that have been brought in from the outdoor environment.

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

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity of a given habitat.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

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

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.

In this activity, learners work in small groups to match various marine animals with their different environments.
