Habitat Hunt
http://www.baylink.org/lessons/3fr_habitat.html 

One of the fascinating things about coastal environments is the variety of habitats which can exist relatively close together. Extreme environmental changes such as periodic inundation, temperature fluctuation and varying salinity all make demands on flora and fauna which require some unique and highly specialized adaptations. In this activity, students explore three or more habitats. (Grades 6-12)

Low on Gravity on the ISS
http://www.vasc.org/Education/grades6-12.html 

Travel to the International Space Station to see how we live and work in space. Learn how Newton's Laws are involved in how space vehicles get into space and stay in orbit, and how astronauts work in space with less gravity and friction. See what happens to marshmallows and balloons in a vacuum. Find out why astronauts have to be in top physical condition and how they stay fit in space.
