In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

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.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Glaciers Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into the forces of gravity and air pressure.

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

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.

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 construct hand-held altitude trackers. The device is a sighting tube with a marked water level that permits measurement of the inclination of the tube.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

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

In this activity, learners explore rocketry and the principals of space flight.

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