In this activity, learners investigate how wind can create surface currents and how waves move. Learners also discover how wind can affect oil spills.

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 explore how salt water freezes in comparison to fresh water.

In this activity, learners use raisins and seltzer water to understand why waves don’t move objects forward. Learners conduct two simple experiments to understand the circular movement of waves.

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.

Learners create three solutions with different levels of salinity. They compare the density of these solutions by coloring them and layering them in a clear plastic cup and in a soda bottle.

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

Investigate the interaction of liquids of different densities and experiment with wave patterns with this hands-on activity.

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.

In this simulation activity, learners observe what can happen when ocean waves churn up water and oil from an oil spill.

In this quick activity, learners observe how wind creates ocean currents.

In this activity, learners interact with whale artifacts such as replicas of skulls, bones, teeth, and baleen (hair-like plates that form a feeding filter).

In this simple activity, learners explore ocean waves. To find out if water moves forward toward the shore, learners create waves in a simulated ocean (small aquarium tank of water).

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.

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