In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine the dangers of mercury and how humans contribute to growing mercury emissions on Earth.

In this activity, learners discuss the different salinities of oceans, rivers and estuaries.

In this activity, learners explore the engineering design process (EDP)—the process engineers use to solve design challenges.

In this kinesthetic activity, learners move pom-pom "ions" across a membrane to simulate how an action potential is propagated along an axon.

Scientists use enormous wind tunnels to test the design of planes, helicopters, even the Space Shuttle.

Did you know that the water we use today is the same water found on Earth millions of years ago? The Earth constantly uses and recycles water in a process called the water cycle.

In this activity, learners mimic remote sensing. Learners use a stick to measure the distance to a "planet surface" they cannot see, and create their own map of the landscape.

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

In this activity (page 10 of PDF), learners approximate the area of the uppermost cross section of an impact crater using a variety of square grids.

In this activity (page 12), learners apply the concepts of pixilation and pointillism to the world of biomedical science.
