Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
Follow the Scent
Source Institutions
In this outdoor, sensory activity, learners role play as animals trying to identify their "family's" scent and locate their "territory." Learners mark their territories and sniff out other territories
The Wave
Source Institutions
In this multi-step experiment (page 4 of pdf), learners study tide pools, and then drop a "wave" (a 4-pound bag of beans or birdseed) on a shell to mimic the force of crashing surf on tide pool animal
Cool It
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity/game, learners use thermometers to simulate how lizards survive in habitats with extreme temperatures.
Create a Mangrove Tree
Source Institutions
In this group activity, learners will explore the characteristics, functions and uniqueness of the mangrove tree.
Recycling Rules: Understanding Recycling and a MRF
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate the separation techniques that materials recovery facilities (MRFs) use and then design their own series of recycling techniques.
DIY Science: Water Cycle in a Bag!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will simulate the processes of the water cycle at home in a plastic sandwich bag.
Leaf Living
Source Institutions
In this outdoor fall activity, learners find out what living in or under a layer of leaves is like.
Water on the Move: Wind and Waves
Source Institutions
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).
Use Clues to Solve an Ice Mystery
Source Institutions
Learners explore the variables that affect the properties of ice and the places where different types of ice are found.
Statistics: Something Fishy
Source Institutions
In this math lesson, learners apply the concepts of ratio and proportion to the capture-recapture statistical procedure.
Place Matters: How Sound Changes Due to Environment
Source Institutions
This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?
Air Pressure
Source Institutions
In this experiment, learners use a blow dryer and water bottle to observe and record changes in air pressure caused by changes in temperature.
Whatta Web
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners play a game to simulate the food chain.
A Balancing Act
Source Institutions
In this plant science activity, learners role play as vegetables and weeds competing for nutrients.
What is a "Model"?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate the behavior of the atmosphere.
Aerial Imagery
Source Institutions
This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes) is a full inquiry investigation into aerial imagery.
Without An Ark: The Effects of Storms and Floods
Source Institutions
April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?
Sea Turtle Populations
Source Institutions
In this activity (on page 2 of PDF under GPS: Sea Turtles Activity), learners will model how a sea turtle population changes over time, from eggs to adults, using puffed rice.
Sustainable Grazing
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.
