In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity, learners are introduced to robotic submarines called gliders. Learners make “gliders” from plastic syringes and compare these to Cartesian bottles and plastic bubbles.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design a planktonic organism that will neither float like a cork nor sink like a stone.

In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

This activity provides a hands-on experience with a scale model, a relatively high viscosity fluid, and feeding behaviors.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

Learners model the ocean currents that carry hot water from the tropics to northern latitudes.

In this activity (Lesson 1), learners work in groups to create tide simulations.

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.

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity about camouflage, learners create a model that shows how a flounder is able to blend into a variety of environments.
