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

Learners construct an electricity-generating wind turbine out of a plastic bottle.

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.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

The objective of this inquiry-based lesson is for learners to gain an understanding of how increasing ocean acidity can affect the calcification of marine organisms.

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.

In this design-based activity, learners explore environments, ecosystems, energy flow and organism interactions by creating a model biodome. Learners become engineers who create model ecosystems.

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 a virtual representation of a sound mixer containing pre-looped sounds of animal, insect, and environmental noises.

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

In this activity (page 1 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Rabbits), learners will visit a zoo, aquarium, or pet store to view a variety of fish.

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 how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

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

This is an online simulation of how sound changes due to environment. How does place--like a cave, a pier, or a forest--affect certain sounds?

This is an activity about turbidity, or the amount of sediment suspended in water.

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

In this crafty chemistry activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners make their own paper from used paper they may have otherwise thrown away.

In this activity (on page 2 of the PDF), learners explore surface tension by adding pennies to cups which are "full" of plain water or soapy water.
