Walk On Water Bugs
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.
Make a Lake
Source Institutions
Where rainwater goes after the rain stops? And why there are rivers and lakes in some parts of the land but not in others?
Low-Tech Water Filter for High-Impact Clean
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.
Battling for Oxygen
Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.
Let's Bag It
Learners observe and discuss a vacuum cleaner as a model of a baghouse, a device used in cleaning industrial air pollution.
The Effects of Acid Rain
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.
2-Liter Landfill
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners gain a better understanding of how household/school waste breaks down in a landfill. Learners collect trash and then create miniature landfills in 2-liter bottles.
Runaway Runoff
Source Institutions
When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.
Hot Stuff!: Investigation #3
Learners test two jars of ice water, one covered and one open, for changes in temperature. After placing the jars in the sun, learners discover that the covered jar cools down more slowly.
Building A Storm Drain
Source Institutions
In this design challenge, learners design a storm drain cover that catches litter to protect waterways to learn about how local actions can have system-level effects.
Monitoring Amphibians
Source Institutions
In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.
Water Treatment
Source Institutions
Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.
What's Hiding in the Air?: Rubber Band Air Test
Learners build devices from rubber bands to test for invisible air pollutants.
Beach Buckets
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.
