In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

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 observe what happens when yeast cells are provided with a source of food (sugar). Red cabbage "juice" will serve as an indicator for the presence of carbon dioxide.

In this activity, learners compare and contrast their own skin (including the area covered) with that of an orange.

In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.

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

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

This is a fun activity about the power of the Sun and the importance of using sunscreen to protect your sensitive skin from its rays.

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 (on pages 9-14), learners dissect a real flower -- the kind of work botanists do.

In this outdoor, nighttime activity, learners gather around a brightly lit, white surface and study the behavior of nocturnal animals attracted to the light, particularly night fliers.

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