Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

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

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien

In this activity, learners will create a magnifying glass called a waterscope, using water and household items, to examine various objects.

In this hands-on botany activity, learners sprout vegetables in film canisters.

In this activity about dinosaurs and survival, learners use scrap materials to create a miniature dinosaur habitat that includes a food source, water source, and shelter.

In this activity (located on page 2), learners will construct tiny model geysers out of film canisters, warm water, and antacid seltzer tablets.

In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this activity, learners test how cornstarch and glitter in water move when disturbed. Learners compare their observations with videos of Jupiter's and Earth's storm movements.

In this outdoor activity, learners release a portion of a lawn from human control—no mowing, no watering, no weeding, no pest control—and then investigate the changes that result over several weeks.

In this data collection activity about crabs, learners use data from the Virginia Institute of Marine Science (VIMS) trawl survey to determine the areas of the Chesapeake Bay that are being used by bl

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

In this two-part activity, learners investigate buoyancy, density and surface area as well as biodiversity and the relationship between the structure and function of organisms.

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.
