In this hands-on activity, learners will become familiar with the special adaptations of rainforest plants and discover the conditions needed for tropical trees to survive along with what can impinge

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.

By building a simple watershed with paper and markers and then using a spray bottle to simulate precipitation, learners will understand how pollution accumulates in our water sources, especially from

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

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

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, 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 create a three-dimensional sculpture while examining the characteristics of fish.

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

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.

In this craft activity, learners will explore the structure and purpose of antelope horns by constructing their own headband using toilet paper rolls and yarn.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 1 of PDF), learners observe and quantify the growth of yeast when it is given table sugar as a food source.

In this experiment, learners will explore whether increased carbon dioxide makes our oceans more basic or more acidic.

In this culinary activity, learners use multiple senses (sight, smell, touch, and taste!) to explore real seaweed samples.

The purpose of this lab is to recognize that the answers to some of society's industrial challenges may lie right in our own backyards.

In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.

In this activity, learners use their senses to collect information about a fruit and record their findings in a Science Journal.
