In this design challenge, learners use their creativity and imagination to design and test a wildlife crossing for their favorite animal.

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

This great "re-use it" activity will demonstrate how to transform a greeting card into a box. Once constructed, the box can have many uses like holding special notes or keepsakes.

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

In this activity, learners explore how nanosized structures can create brilliant color.

In this activity, learners turn empty 2-liter bottles into a see-through compost container.

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.

Learners experiment with a commercial photo-sensitive paper (Sunprint® or NaturePrint® paper). They place opaque and clear objects on the paper and expose it to bright light, observing the results.

In this engineering activity (page 3 of PDF), young learners investigate how a pole can be made stable by “planting” its base in the ground or adding supports to the base.

This activity investigates how bark beetles can threaten forests by having learners estimate the number of infected trees from a photo.

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

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity, learners will explore engineering to construct an insect collecting tool (insect aspirator). The pooter uses suction to safely collect smaller insects that nets miss or may injure.

In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

In this activity, learners will build a bee hotel for pollinators. Learners will explore building and ecology through this activity.

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

In this activity, learners of all ages will design a functional bird feeder using familiar, every day materials.

In this activity on page 11 of the PDF, learners follow simple steps to recycle old newspaper into new paper.

In this biology/ecology activity, learners construct a terrarium out of a tennis ball container. This terrarium is unique because it never has to be watered.
