In this activity, learners work in groups to build simple solar stills filled with salt water. After the stills are complete, learners observe what happens when they place the stills in the sun.

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

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, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this data activity, learners will explore shipwrecks from four National Marine Sanctuaries on the West Coast of the United States.

In this activity, learners use simple items to construct a device for indicating air pressure changes.

In this activity, learners play NOAA's Carbon Tracker game and discover ways to keep track of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases in the world.

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

In this activity, learners model the flow of energy from the sun as it enters a photovoltaic cell, moves along a wire and powers a load.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Forecasting) is a full inquiry investigation into meteorology and forecasting.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

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

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

In this activity, learners make water-walking critters using thin wire, and then test how many paper clips these critters can carry without sinking.

Agriculturalists have long considered mushroom growing a challenge, largely because you need a piece of benchtop equipment known as a laminar flow hood.

This board game teaches learners about energy decision making. Players select cards that determine the transportation and home design that will influence their expenses as they play.

In this activity, learners create their own weather forecast map.

In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners evaluate the feasibility of wave energy as a practical alternative energy source using ocean observing system (OOS) buoys.

In this activity, learners will listen to as many radio stations as possible to discover that AM radio signals can travel many hundreds of miles at night.
