This is an activity (located on page 131 of the PDF) related to sleep and circadian rhythms as well as space travel.

In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

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 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.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Through doing these hands-on activities, learners explore the environmental consequences associated with fossil fuel usage.

In this creative roleplay activity, learners will explore the various processes of the water cycle using movement, sound, and props to aid in comprehension.

Ancient trash tells archaeologists a lot about the past. In this activity, learners take a close look inside their trash can and think about the clues it offers about their lives.

In this group activity, learners act out key stages of the "ocean carbon cycle" (also known as the "carbonate buffer system") through motions, rearranging blocks and team tasks.

In this group activity, learners will mark important developments of life on Earth on a timeline (each foot in length representing 200 million years).

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

Learners create their own piece of history by decorating, shattering, and piecing together a flowerpot "artifact".

In this experiment, learners work in pairs to create two gloves -- one that contains a layer of shortening (blubber) inside, and one that doesn't.

In this activity on page 60, learners examine and simulate wildlife entanglement by experiencing what it might be like to be a marine animal trapped in debris.
