After researching how scientists drill into the ocean floor to retrieve core samples, students work in small groups to simulate the process in the classroom and report on their findings.

Learn how art through the ages has been influenced by the Earth and the heavens. See paintings that attempted to explain the Earth's creation from a scientific standpoint, sacred architecture that provided a place to worship the heavens,...

In this experiment, students go outside and create a simulation of P and S waves traveling across a 30-meter span. This is repeated using a 30-meter square. They experiment with P and S wave behavior, record results, and use...

The Gravestone Project, part of the global citizen science program called EarthTrek, seeks volunteers to visit cemeteries around the world and collect scientific data on how marble gravestones are weathering.
