In this activity related to plant biotechnology, learners use the tissue culture process to rapidly produce clones (genetic copies) of a particular plant (cauliflower, rose cuttings, African violet le

In this activity (on pages 20-23 of PDF), learners build a model of a power plant using simple materials.

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized particles or coatings can change a bigger material’s properties.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers work to solve the challenges of a society, such as efficient planting and harvesting.

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

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

How does a green roof, or roof covered by plants, affect the temperature of the inside and outside of a building? Learners design and build houses to find out the answer.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.

The Chinese invented paper made from plants and cloth about 2,000 years ago. Learners follow a similar process to make paper from recycled paper.

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

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this fun sticker activity, learners will create a size wheel with images of objects of different size, from macroscopic scale (like an ant) to nanoscale (like DNA).

In this activity (on pages 18-29) learners explore the impact of the March 24, 1989 oil spill in Alaska caused by the Exxon Valdez tanker.

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

In this activity, learners explore how various energy sources can be used to cause a turbine to rotate.

In this activity, a group of learners work collaboratively to design and construct a paper model showing the evolution of an environment through multiple stages, from prehistory through the modern cit
