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.

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

As a model of acid rain, learners water plants with three different solutions: water only, vinegar only, vinegar-water mixture.

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 investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.

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 (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.

Working in groups, learners model the continuous destruction and creation of ozone (O3) molecules, which occur in the ozone layer.

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