In this activity, learners create a sealed, mini ecosystem that supplies freshwater shrimp with food, oxygen, and waste processing for at least three months.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

In this demonstration, learners observe vinegar and baking soda reacting to form carbon dioxide (CO2) gas.

In this activity (on pages 36-39), learners make a model of a watershed out of paper, then run water down the mountain to simulate how rainfall and pollution affect watersheds.

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

Learners create a model of a wetland to observe how it absorbs and filters water from the environment.

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

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.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

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 activity, learners create channel features with flowing water, comparing their observations to real images of Mars and Earth taken by satellites/orbiters.

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 quick activity, learners explore how blubber protects animals from the cold by making a "blubber mitt." Using cooking shortening, two zip-top sandwich bags, and duct tape, learners simulate bl

In this activity, learners create a "mini sky" in a glass of water in a dark room.

In this activity, learners construct a coastal landmass from sand and add features such as tidal creeks and barrier islands.

In this activity, learners model, on a human-sized board game, how changes in water temperature may affect fish distributions and, ultimately, fisheries.
