In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

In this activity, learners work in small groups to match various marine animals with their different environments.

In this data activity, learners will compare and contrast fish communities, diversity and habitats in U.S. National Marine Sanctuaries.

In this activity, learners observe tide pool animals in a touch tank to consider how they survive.

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.

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

In this matching game, learners study the limits of life on Earth to see what other places in the solar system might sustain microbial life.

In this investigation learners explore the differences between, and interdependence of, living and nonliving elements in a water ecosystem.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Temperate Rain Forest Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity of a given habitat.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

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

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

In this activity, learners take an indoor nature walk and discover various objects that have been brought in from the outdoor environment.

In this group activity, learners consider environmental conditions—temperature, presence of water, atmosphere, sunlight, and chemical composition—on planets and moons in our solar system to determine

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