This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into organisms and the health of their ecosystems.

This activity focuses on interactions within Earth systems and the effects of human activities. In this activity learners build a biomass pyramid.

In this activity, learners explore the size and scale of dinosaurs. Learners listen to "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs" by Byron Barton to understand some background information about dinosaurs.

In this activity, learners make edible T. rex teeth (with adult assistance). The treat is a white and dark chocolate covered banana on a stick.

In this archaeology activity, learners make observations and conduct an experiment to demonstrate the effect saltwater has on artifacts.

In this three-part activity, learners use food to determine the effects of wind, sandblasting and water on regolith (dust) formation and deposition on Earth.

In this activity, learners explore the etymology of dinosaur names.

In this activity about water solubility and density, learners use critical thinking skills to determine why water can dissolve some things and not others.

In this activity, learners will compare predicted and observed tides using data from The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration(NOAA).

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 activity, learners identify different plastics in a mystery bag. Learners discover that plastics are classified #1 through #7.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

In this activity, learners use tsunami time travel maps to predict how long it will take a tsunami to reach the shore.

In this three part activity, learners explore and experiment with shadows to learn about the Sun's relative motion in the sky.

This activity (located on page 8 of the PDF) introduces learners to the concept of Non-point Source Pollution--what happens when rain washes garbage and other pollutants into rivers and lakes.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this activity, learners explore the Great Plains.

In this activity, learners explore Charles' Law in a syringe.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a mapping technique to become oriented to the major features of an outdoor site.

Historically, sea floor mapping (bathymetry) was done by soundings.
