In this outdoor activity and bingo-like game, learners explore why and how seeds spread far from the plants that produce them.

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.

This marine biology activity (on pages 11-17) introduces learners to kelp (seaweed) forests that grow in the ocean and are home to many species of sea animals.

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

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

In this activity, learners will make seed orbs to grow new trees and plants. Learners will explore ecology and life cycles as well as stewardship through this activity.

Build and test a scale model of a rainforest canopy walkway.

Learners mix a solution of luminol with hydrogen peroxide to produce a reaction that gives off blue light.

In this activity, learners make a model of a beehive using simple materials.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

In this activity, learners will create a diagram of the ocean zones and determine what organisms live in each zone.

In this laboratory exercise, learners will discover how many different plant hosts they can find that are infected by the same genus of a powdery mildew fungus, or how many different genera of powdery

In this activity related to microbes, learners make slides of cells from an onion skin and Elodea (American or Canadian waterweed) to observe under a microscope.

After an interest-generating discussion about "dirt" and microbes, learners select and collect soil samples from a variety of locations (schoolyard, home, etc.).

In this activity, learners identify different plastics in a mystery bag. Learners discover that plastics are classified #1 through #7.

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

In this outdoor activity, learners use only their senses to to find the extremes of several environmental variables or physical factors: wind, temperature, light, slope and moisture.

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.

Over the course of several days, learners explore the property of water that helps plants move water from roots to leaves or gives paper towels the capacity to soak up water.
