In this activity, learners use information gathered from a variety of sources to design and make their own insect.

In this activity, learners investigate how increased carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from the burning of fossil fuels is changing the acidity (pH) of the ocean and affecting coral reefs and other marin

In this activity, learners make a miniature greenhouse or "terrarium" to explore the greenhouse effect.

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

In this lesson plan, learners examine some of the of greenhouse gas emissions sources in their community.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

In this online interactive, learners use fossils to infer temperatures 55 million years ago, at the sites where the fossils were found.

Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

In this activity about the relationship between food and energy (page 8 of PDF), learners estimate average daily baseline energy (Calorie) needs and energy needs for different levels of activity.

In this activity about daily rhythms (on page 17 of the PDF), learners will explore circadian patterns in humans, animals and plants.

In this food science activity, learners conduct an experiment that demonstrates the importance of light to plants.

Learners make their own paper. They start by shredding old newspaper, clean toilet paper, and clean paper towels.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Body Electricity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into conductivity.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

In this activity, learners will examine a variety of seeds, describe them, and determine how they are dispersed.

In this data analysis activity, learners use data collected by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to study Chilean sea bass populations.

In this online game, learners must purchase power plants for their city.

Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.

In this activity (on page 12 of the PDF), learners make a sundial (shadow clock) appropriate for their geographic location in the northern hemisphere and use it to tell time.
