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

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

In this activity (located on page 6 of the PDF), learners explore the ways people access water in their homes.

In this outdoor, sunny day activity, learners experiment with paper leaf models to discover how some desert plants conserve water.

Learners work in groups to construct bridges using stale marshmallows and toothpicks.

Learners design, build, and test models of "dragon boats" made from up to three milk cartons.

Learners build models to learn about the special cells and structures that plants use to move water from their roots up through the stems and leaves.

In this quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under GPS Wetlands Activity), learners will model how wetlands act as natural filters for the environment.

Learners build models of sinkholes to gain an intuitive knowledge of their physical aspects.

Learners work in teams to design and build solar water heating devices that mimic those used in residences to capture energy in the form of solar radiation and convert it to thermal energy.

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

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.

In this activity, learners will explore how a hydrometer works by building a working model and conducting experiments.

Learners gain an intuitive knowledge of the physical aspects of watersheds by creating their own watershed models.

Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.
