Corals and Chemistry
Source Institutions
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
Ocean Home: Swimming Fishes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.
How Greenhouse Gases Absorb Heat
Source Institutions
Learners observe two model atmospheres -- one with normal atmospheric composition and another with an elevated concentration of carbon dioxide.
Rover Races
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through
Automotive Emissions and the Greenhouse Effect
Source Institutions
In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.
Light Bulb Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.
Keep Out!
Source Institutions
In this technology activity, learners build an "alarming" doormat to keep siblings out of their rooms. Use this activity to teach learners about circuits, switches, and sensors.
A Hurricane's Storm Surge Affects our Estuaries
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.
