Clean Water: Is It Drinkable?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.
A Degrading Experience
Source Institutions
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.
Build a Borneo Glider
Source Institutions
In this inquiry-based activity, learners investigate the basic forces of flight as they construct their own paper glider that represents a rainforest creature from Borneo (large, tropical island in So
Investigating and Using Biomass Gases
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will be introduced to biomass gasification and will generate their own biomass gases.
Breaking Point
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners build penetrometers to test leaf toughness. Biologists measure leaf toughness to study the feeding preferences of insects and bugs.
Don't Throw it in the Garbage
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners discover why only some types of plastic can be recycled.
Oil Spill Cleanup
This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.
As the Rotor Turns: Wind Power and You
Source Institutions
In this engineering activity, learners will get acquainted with the basics of wind energy and power production by fabricating and testing various blade designs for table-top windmills constructed from
Automotive Emissions and the Greenhouse Effect
Source Institutions
In this activity about global climate change, learners will conduct an experiment and collect data to compare the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) in four different sources of gases.
The Effects of Acid Rain
Source Institutions
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.
I Can't Take the Pressure!
Learners develop an understanding of air pressure in two different activities.
Giving Water the Treatment
Source Institutions
In this ecology activity (page 8 of the PDF), learners explore how to filter contaminated water using a variety of materials.
Light Bulb Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the difference between compact fluorescent light (CFL) bulbs and traditional incandescent bulbs.
Forces at the Nanoscale: Nano Properties of Everyday Plants
Source Institutions
This is an activity (located on page 3 of PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.
