Some aquatic organisms live in open water, while some live in soil at the bottom of a body of water.

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

In this activity, learners will make their own prism and use a glass of water to separate sunlight into different colors.

In this activity, learners make their own flip book that shows real solar flares erupting from the Sun in November 2000. Step-by-step instructions are included with photos.

In this activity, learners make their own pinhole viewer in order to measure the size of the sun.

Some bugs can walk on the surface of a lake, stream, river, pond or ocean.

In this activity, learners use candy pieces and a cookie to make an accurate model of the Sun they can eat. Parts of the delicious model include solar granules, sunspots, and solar prominences.

In this activity, learners make their own Sun tracker to explore how ancient civilizations around the world studied the Sun.

This activity features two connected hands-on activities about dinosaur bones.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.
