How it is Currently Done
Source Institutions
In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.

DIY Science: Water Cycle in a Bag!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.

Chocolate (Sea Floor) Lava
Source Institutions
In this edible experiment, learners pour "Magic Shell" chocolate into a glass of cold water. They'll observe as pillow shaped structures form, which resemble lavas on the sea floor.

Making Waves
Source Institutions
Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

Modeling Tidal Action
Source Institutions
In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

Coral Polyp
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will create their own coral polyps - the basis for a coral reef.

Test Density with a Supersaturated Solution
Source Institutions
Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

Ocean Currents
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

Hot Sauce Hot Spots
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

Amphipods: More than Mud
Source Institutions
In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners examine the effects of pollution on amphipods using data from the Chesapeake Ecotox Research Program.

Beach Buckets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.

Shell Shifts
Source Institutions
Ocean acidification is a big issue due to the amount of carbon dioxide humans release. CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed into the ocean thus changing its acidity.
