In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

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

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

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

Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.

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

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

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

In this activity, learners consider how oil spills behave in the ocean and what impact they have on marine wildlife.

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

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 activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.
