Source Institutions
This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.
The Watershed Connection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.
Portable Potable Pressure
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners use plastic water bottles, wood, and water to build an inexpensive and portable tool to demonstrate one atmosphere of pressure at sea level.
Whale Cart
Source Institutions
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).

Heat Capacity: Can't Take the Heat?
Source Institutions
Why is ocean water sometimes the warmest when the average daily air temperature starts to drop? In this activity, learners explore the differing heat capacities of water and air using real data.
Amphipods: More than Mud
Source Institutions
In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners examine the effects of pollution on amphipods using data from the Chesapeake Ecotox Research Program.
Beach Buckets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.
A Hurricane's Storm Surge Affects our Estuaries
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.
