Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

This outdoor activity/field trip requires a place where minnows swim, such as a local pond or brook.

In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.

Investigate a flower's power of marketing by making an imitation flower that successfully signals a bee (or other pollinator of your choice) to visit.

In this activity, learners examine how brine shrimp populations can survive in some of the harshest environments.

In this math activity, learners use a variety of sensory modalities to gain experiences with identifying, describing and creating repeating patterns.

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.

In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

In this activity, learners discover how frogs' bodies change while growing from a tadpole to a frog. Learners create a simple craft that gives a visual display of the metamorphosis process.

In this activity, learners rotate through several learning and play stations to explore dinosaurs and paleontologists.

This activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under GPS: Cave Swallows Activity) is a full inquiry investigation into bird behaviors.

In this activity, learners will simulate the interactions between a predator population of gray wolves and a prey population of deer in a forest.

Dig a hole, line it, fill it with fresh water, and you have a water hole: a good place to study colonization.

Plants need nutrients to grow. This is why we apply fertilizers to grass and food crops. In this activity, learners will explore how fertilizers can affect lakes and other bodies of water.

In this outdoor activity and bingo-like game, learners explore why and how seeds spread far from the plants that produce them.

In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

In this activity (on pages 36-39), learners make a model of a watershed out of paper, then run water down the mountain to simulate how rainfall and pollution affect watersheds.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

This activity (on pages 35-43) lets learners analyze a "herd of elk" to detect the spread of a bacterial disease called brucellosis.
