In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

In this outdoor activity, learners investigate the relationship between the slope of a trail and soil erosion.

In this environmental education demonstration (page 6 of the PDF), learners will see a tangible representation of the scarcity of soil resources on earth.

In this activity about soil (page 7 of the PDF), learners will use their sense of touch as well as sight to understand how soil is classified based on texture and other details.

In this outdoor archaeology activity, learners use mathematical skills and scientific inquiry to generate and process information from their own excavation site.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

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

In this activity, learners create a soil and water model of a single-cell life environment and study living microorganisms.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

In this sunny day experiment, learners measure and compare how quickly light and dark colored materials absorb heat.

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.

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.

In this activity, learners investigate soil conditions by creating a soil map. Learners record soil characteristics and compare the conditions of soil in different grid sections.

In this activity, learners examine the different materials gardeners add to their soil, and discuss how these materials are important for plant growth.

Learners design their own experiment to determine conditions that either help or hinder the decomposition of carrots by soil microbes.

In this outdoor activity, learners make their own organic-rich soil. Depending on where this activity is done, learners will probably discover that their local soil is low in organic matter.

In this activity, learners use sand and ice cubes to create a model of permafrost and the effects of the ice melting through the surface.

In this plant science activity, learners conduct four experiments to observe how plants respond to sunlight and gravity.

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