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

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

Positive Planning Adds Up
Source Institutions
In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

What Trickles Down?
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to explore the permeability of different materials such as soil, sand, gravel, and marbles.

Pollution Diffusion
Source Institutions
Learners design their own experiment to investigate how pollution diffuses through ground material.

Sustainable Fishing
Source Institutions
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.

Oil Spill Solutions
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

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

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

Environmental Chemistry
Source Institutions
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.

The Watershed Connection
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Low-Tech Water Filter for High-Impact Clean
Source Institutions
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
Source Institutions
Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.
