In this physical sciences activity, learners explore how passive solar design increases energy efficiency.

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

Through discussion and hands-on experimentation, learners examine the geological (ancient) carbon cycle.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

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

In this activity, learners will turn an ordinary tray of sand into a desk-top garden for meditation.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners discover why only some types of plastic can be recycled.

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

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 experiment, learners examine the way oil affects bird feathers and test different cleanup methods to find out which works best.

In this outdoor water activity, learners explore how to change the direction of water flow. Learners make puddles in dirt or use existing puddles and sticks to make water flow.

Learners will follow a specific process to make their own paper using scrap paper, newspaper, or junk mail.

In this meteorology activity, learners build weather vanes using straws, paperclips, and cardstock.

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.

In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.

In this activity, learners simulate the separation techniques that materials recovery facilities (MRFs) use and then design their own series of recycling techniques.
