This is a simple activity fully driven by imagination. Using materials from the home, toys, or items from nature, learners create their own world to play with.

Learners build a model of a pollution control device--a cyclone. A cyclone works by whirling the polluted air in a circle and accumulating particles on the edges of the container.

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

In this activity, learners create a model using metric measuring tapes and atmosphere composition data.

In this activity, learners explore dinosaur skeletons and anatomy. Learners make observations about a T. rex skeleton diagram and then measure the skeleton length and width.

Learners observe and discuss a vacuum cleaner as a model of a baghouse, a device used in cleaning industrial air pollution.

Educator Amy O'Donnell from the American Museum of Natural History guides learners to create a diorama of a coral reef.
