Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

In this hands-on activity, learners use the steps of the design process to create a hook to rescue a "space capsule" from the water.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.

Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

In this design challenge activity, learners build a boat that can hold 25 pennies (or 15 one inch metal washers) for at least ten seconds before sinking.

In this activity, learners will explore the water cycle by creating a small atmosphere.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

In this activity, learners make a model of the hot water of a deep sea vent in the cold water of the ocean to learn about one of the ocean's most amazing and bizarre underwater habitats.

This experiment is designed to illustrate how fluids, including water, have the ability to flow.

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

In this activity about saturation (page 1 of PDF under SciGirls Activity: Sand Dunes), learners will build a series of sand castle towers using a 16 oz cup.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.
