This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Water Clean-up Activity) about the use of reduction agents to decontaminate ground water.

In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.

In this activity, learners make a solar oven. Learners witness the awesome power of the sun to make a yummy treat--a chocolate chip cookie!

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

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 cooperative learning activity, learners visit ten stations and are challenged to think critically about various conservation questions and issues.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Nanosilver Activity) about diffusion of small molecules across cell membranes.

In this activity, learners explore sensors and focus specifically on how to measure humidity using a sensor.

Learners follow directions to construct a solar oven that really cooks! The solar oven uses aluminum foil to reflect sunlight into a cooking chamber, which is painted black.

In this activity, learners explore how engineers design devices that can detect the presence of pollutants in the air.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has developed various means to remove impurities from water.

Learners will build and experiment with their own windmills made from simple household materials.

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 outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.

In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.

Using simple, inexpensive items, learners build and test submarine models.

This lesson challenges groups of learners to design and construct a wind generator with the most electrical output.

In this design challenge activity, learners invent an emergency shelter that can fit a person and is sturdy and quick to build.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.
