In this activity, learners explore the different salinities of various sources of water by taste-testing.

In this activity, learners discover that as the salinity of water increases, the density increases as well. Learners prove this by attempting to float fresh eggs in saltwater and freshwater.

In this activity, learners investigate the different salinity levels of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

In this quick activity, learners observe how salinity and temperature affect the density of water, to better understand the Great Ocean Conveyor.

An estuary is a body of water that is created when freshwater from rivers and streams flows into the saltwater of an ocean.

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

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

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

What is the optimal environment for hatching brine shrimp? Using a scaffold, learners design and conduct experiments testing the effect of a single abiotic factor on brine shrimp cyst hatch rate.
