In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

Learners discover that their breath contains carbon dioxide, one of the pollutants found in car exhaust.

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

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

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 separate materials based on their special properties to mimic the way recyclables are sorted at recycling centers.

Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.

In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.

Learners will understand the relationship between climate change and sea-level rise.

Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.

In this activity, learners explore how packaging engineers develop customized shipping and packaging containers to meet the needs of many different industries.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.
