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

Learners use red cabbage juice and pH indicator paper to test the acidity and basicity of household materials. The activity links this concept of acids and bases to acid rain and other pollutants.

Learners conduct a simple experiment to model and explore the harmful effects of acid rain (vinegar) on living (green leaf and eggshell) and non-living (paper clip) objects.

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

Learners will build a lung model to understand how their lungs and diaphragm work to make them breathe.

In this activity, learners explore clouds and how they form.

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.

Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

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

In this activity with several mini experiments, learners explore the chemistry that helps scientists learn about the environment and how they can help save it.

In this data analysis and environmental science activity, learners examine the effects of pollution on amphipods using data from the Chesapeake Ecotox Research Program.

In this activity, learners explore a bucket of sand and beach objects.
