This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners explore how anemometers work to record wind speeds and how the equipment has undergone engineering adaptations over time.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

In this ocean engineering activity, learners explore buoyancy and water displacement. Then, learners design models of deep sea divers that are neutrally buoyant.

In this activity, learners are challenged to design and construct a windmill to harness the power of wind.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from
