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

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

In this activity, learners use whale count data from the Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary to compare whale counts in relation to environmental factors.

In this activity, learners will explore the ways natural materials can produce sounds. Appropriate for any age, learners can make individual music or create a symphony with others.

This is a comprehensive lesson plan on page 85 for a group cleanup trip to a local beach, lake or stream. Learners keep track of the types and amounts of trash picked up and analyze this information.

In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.

In this classic activity, learners investigate natural selection by becoming birds foraging for food on an island.

In this activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

Learners build a wind turbine and test it to see how much energy is created.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

In this game, learners match descriptions of marine debris (shoes, batteries, paper towels, etc.) to images of these items.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

The objective of this inquiry-based lesson is for learners to gain an understanding of how increasing ocean acidity can affect the calcification of marine organisms.

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

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

In this outdoor activity, learners cut through and investigate rotten logs and then make log-profile puzzles for each other.

In this activity, learners conduct an experiment to investigate the effect of elevated levels on CO2 on plant growth.

This is an activity where learners will discover what types and how many insects live in their own backyard.
