Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

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

Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this design challenge, learners will engineer a structure and see if it can survive an earthquake they create.

In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this activity, learners investigate various appliances and electronics, discovering how much energy each uses and how much carbon dioxide (CO2) is released to produce that energy.

In this seismic simulation, learners play a "who-dunnit" game to explore earthquakes.

In this activity, learners explore how the area of Arctic sea ice has changed over recent years. First, learners graph the area of Arctic sea ice over time from 1979 to 2007.

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.

Ocean acidification is a big issue due to the amount of carbon dioxide humans release. CO2 in the atmosphere is absorbed into the ocean thus changing its acidity.

In this laboratory experiment, learners explore how effectively different sunscreens protect yeast cells from damage caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation.

In this data analysis activity, learners quantify the abundance and distribution of sea scallops in and adjacent to the Mid-Atlantic closed areas.

Learners build a solar oven from a cardboard pizza box, aluminum foil and plastic. Learners can use their oven to cook S'mores or other food in the sun.

In this oceanography and data collection activity, learners cast real time sea state conditions using buoys from NOAA's National Data Buoy Center.

In this activity, learners calculate the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere by using steel wool's ability to rust.

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

In this activity, learners design and build a NASA rover using raw pasta and candy with a limited imaginary budget.
