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

In this activity (located at the top of the page), learners make an easy river strainer and see what they can catch.

In this activity on page 24, learners perform experiments to examine whether or not trash can float, blow around, or wash away.

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.

In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.

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.

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

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

In this activity, learners make a model of a pollution spill that occurred at Bangs Lake in Mississippi and measure water quality parameters in their model.

In this environmental science activity (page 4 of the PDF), learners use vinegar and chalk to observe the effect of acid rain on various building materials and plant life.

In this field study, learners discover how to collect data in the field and how their efforts can help certain animals, specifically, amphibians.

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

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
