Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

Learners take on the role of environmental engineers as they design water filters.

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

This activity has three story puzzles learners can solve to learn about life in the Arctic.

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

In this environmental activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners identify household products that are recyclable and explore the different types of recyclable plastics.

This activity models the necessary balance of creating power and cleaning up its associated waste. Learners participate in a game where they attempt to move forward toward a goal.

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.

Learners observe and discuss a simple model of a wet scrubber, a device for cleaning industrial air pollution.

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

Learners make their own paper. They start by shredding old newspaper, clean toilet paper, and clean paper towels.

In this online game, learners must purchase power plants for their city.

Have you noticed the plastic rings that are used to hold six-packs of soda? Those rings are great for carrying cans, but they're real trouble when they become trash that animals can get tangled in.

Learners build particulate matter collectors--devices that collect samples of visible particulates present in polluted air.

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

In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.

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 activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.
