SeaWorld San Diego

Insulation Investigation allows students to test how blubber helps marine mammals stay warm in cold water. Participants first dip an unprotected finger into icy water, then repeat the experiment with their finger covered in Model Magic to simulate blubber. By comparing both experiences, students see how insulation reduces heat loss and supports survival in cold ocean environments.

My Green Lab

My Green Lab "certified" stickers for kids
Regular stickers too

1-2 of these ideas:
Build a Better Lab- Magnetic or Velcro board where people design a “green lab” by choosing equipment, behaviors, and layouts.
Energy Hog Guessing Game- Show pictures of lab equipment and have people rank them from lowest to highest energy use.
Green Pledge Tree- Kids write or draw one thing they’ll do to help the planet and hang it on a paper tree.
