In this activity, learners simulate a wolf and its habitat and observe what happens when the limiting factors change over time.

In this data activity, learners analyze data from coral reef snapshots taken by scientists at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science.

Learners follow directions to construct a solar oven that really cooks! The solar oven uses aluminum foil to reflect sunlight into a cooking chamber, which is painted black.

This laboratory activity helps learners understand the concept of biological succession by simulating the process in a microenvironment with various protozoans.

In this activity, two groups of learners create two separate landform models out of clay (mountains and valleys).

Learners explore how recyclers take advantage of the different properties of materials, such as magnetism and density, to separate them from a mixture.

In this hands-on activity, learners investigate the functional design of leaves on a tree.

Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

In this activity, learners work in groups to create a time line representing significant moments in their lives.

In this activity, learners use simple materials to build their own compass.

In this activity, learners use coverslips to collect organisms from a pond, estuary or marine environment and then examine what they have caught with a microscope.

In this activity, some learners pretend to be wolves, while the other learners pretend to be the prey of the wolf. The goal of the simulation is to have the wolves work together to survive.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

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

In this activity, young learners (2 years and up) explore dirt and what is in it by painting with mud.

In this international citizen science activity, learners measure their night sky brightness and submit their observations into an online database.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

In this outdoor activity and fun race, learners first find the most common type of tree in a forest site.
