Soda Pop Cave
Source Institutions
In this geology activity (page 6 of the PDF), learners explore how carbonic acid can slowly dissolve limestone and form caves.

Litter Critters
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners use a "litter-critter" wheel to help them identify different animals they find living in a natural litter habitat.

Water "Digs" It!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners investigate soil erosion. Learners set up a simulation to observe how water can change the land and move nutrients from one place to another.

Investigating the Uses of Backyard Bacteria
Source Institutions
The purpose of this lab is to recognize that the answers to some of society's industrial challenges may lie right in our own backyards.

Exploring Earth: Land Cover
Source Institutions
This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

Discovering Rainforest Locations
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners will examine various world data maps to combine the information and predict which areas could be tropical rainforests.

Salt, Soil and Seeds
