Fused Plastic Wallet
Source Institutions
In this up-cycling activity, learners recycle plastic bags and repurpose them into useful wallets.

A Recipe for Air
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.

Making Music in Nature
Source Institutions
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.

All Tangled Up
Source Institutions
In this activity on page 60, learners examine and simulate wildlife entanglement by experiencing what it might be like to be a marine animal trapped in debris.

The Watershed Connection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.
What Does Life Need to Live?
Source Institutions
In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

Sound Mixer: A Multi-track Mixer of Animal Sounds
Source Institutions
This is a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

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

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

Building A Storm Drain
Source Institutions
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.

Build a Tree
Source Institutions
This activity (on pages 13-18) has learners build a model tree and then figure out how to make their tree stand up by itself.
