Dust Catchers
Source Institutions
In this activity related to indoor air pollution, learners build take-home dust catchers with wax paper and petroleum jelly.
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.
Toxic Popcorn Design Challenge
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.
Positive Planning Adds Up
Source Institutions
In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.
Clean Water: Is It Drinkable?
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners simulate nature's water filtration system by devising a system that will filter out both visible and invisible pollutants from water.
Playing with Parachutes
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how parachutes are used to slow down moving objects. Learners work in teams of "engineers" to design and build their own parachutes out of everyday items.

Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore electronic communication, the Morse Code system, and advances all the way through text messaging. Learners build a simple circuit, send messages to one another.
I Want to Hold Your Hand
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners construct a robot-like hand to demonstrate how data is collected when using robotic technology.
Dispenser Designs
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore how engineers work in a team to solve problems.
Going Green
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners conduct a waste audit and use their findings to implement a plan for reducing trash.
Star Power
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners create a star show and discover how they can prevent light pollution. Using simple materials, learners first design constellation boxes.
Give or Take?
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners work in pairs using their senses—especially touch—to learn more about individual trees.
