In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

Learners use M&Ms® (or any other multi-color, equally-sized small candy or pieces) to create a pie graph that expresses the composition of air.

This activity (on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Biodiversity Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into biodiversity.

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

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 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 conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

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

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

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).

This is an activity about discovering the colors and beauty of nature. Learners will spend time outdoors, matching paint chip samples, colored paper, or colors of clothing to those found in nature.

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

In this activity, learners create a star show and discover how they can prevent light pollution. Using simple materials, learners first design constellation boxes.

In this outdoor activity, learners use a "litter-critter" wheel to help them identify different animals they find living in a natural litter habitat.

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.

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

In this outdoor fall activity, learners find out what living in or under a layer of leaves is like.

Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
