In this activity, learners conduct three experiments to examine temperature, the different stages of the water cycle, and how convection creates wind.

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 outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this activity, learners will use static elecricity to bend a stream of water without touching it. Learners will explore physics and cause and effect through this activity.

In this activity, learners explore how civil engineers solved the challenge of moving water via irrigation.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.

Learners compare the properties and solubilities of Styrofoam (TM), ecofoam packing peanuts, and popcorn. First, the solubility of each substance is tested in water.

This is a demonstration about how nature inspires nanotechnology. It is easily adapted into a hands-on activity for an individual or groups.

Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?

In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

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

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.
