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 activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

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

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

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity, learners explore the concept of permeability to better understand why amphibians are extremely sensitive to pollution.

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Alligator Habitat Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into organisms and the health of their ecosystems.

In this activity, learners discover the three R's of environmental protection: reduce, reuse, and recycle.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.

In this activity, learners discover how landfills affect the natural environment.

In this activity, learners consider how oil spills behave in the ocean and what impact they have on marine wildlife.

In this activity on page 27, learners perform an experiment to learn about how different types of marine debris degrade and how weather and sunlight affect the rate of degradation.

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.

In this activity, learners model a population of deer and see how the number of deer changes over time.

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.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.
