In this chemistry activity, learners use thin layer chromatography to determine the molecular composition of different markers.

In this activity (on page 5 of PDF), learners use dry ice and household materials to make scientifically accurate models of comets.

In this data collection and analysis activity, learners evaluate fish physiology and ecology using vision research data from Dr.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this math lesson, learners practice estimation and measurement skills as they move from station to station calculating length, volume, weight, and area.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

This activity provides an opportunity for learners to observe and examine how carbon dioxide, water, and light produce glucose/starch through a process called photosynthesis.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

This experiment allows learners to experience a small scale "epidemic," demonstrating the ease with which disease organisms are spread, and enables learners to determine the originator of the "epidemi

Learners are challenged to create solutions that conduct electricity and make a buzzer buzz (or an LED light up).

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this 7-10 day investigation, learners develop an understanding of waves and tides and their motion through discussion, demonstration, and hands-on activities.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this four-part activity, learners explore how the body works and the chemistry that happens inside living things.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this activity, learners are introduced to challenges of maintaining temperatures while living in space.
