Sandy Samples
Source Institutions
In this collecting/comparing activity, learners work with samples of sand from different places like a lakefront, river, or ocean beach.

Habitat Adaptation Matchup
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners work in small groups to match various marine animals with their different environments.

Trash Traits
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

The Great Plankton Race
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

Plankton Feeding
Source Institutions
This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.
Coral and Chemistry

The Carbon Cycle Game
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners take on the role of a carbon atom and record which reservoirs in the carbon cycle they visit.
Buoyancy Bulls-Eye
Source Institutions
In this hands-on activity, learners will construct a scuba diver that can float in order to explore how sea creatures stay neutrally buoyant in the ocean and to see what kinds of forces might be influ

What-a-cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.

The World's Water
Source Institutions
Water on Earth is in lakes, the ocean, rivers, underground, and frozen glaciers.

Crazy Camouflage
Source Institutions
