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

This activity encourages learners to focus on the natural environment of the Eastern Woodlands before the arrival of European settlers.

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 activity, learners will investigate how shorebirds and seabirds are extremely vulnerable to changes in their environment, whether human-induced or otherwise.

In this activity, learners build one or more edible coral polyps and place them together to form a colony.

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

In this activity, learners construct models of plants that are adapted to living under specific environmental conditions.

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this activity, learners gain a better understanding of how household/school waste breaks down in a landfill. Learners collect trash and then create miniature landfills in 2-liter bottles.

Use the Zoo Calendar (page 1 of PDF) to involve learners in interdisciplinary, whole language, and writing activities about ecological concepts.
