In this activity, learners explore how to protect their skin while applying pesticides to plants.

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

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

In this online Flash game, learners will explore a coral reef using an underwater remotely operated vehicle (ROV).

In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.

In this activity on page 60, learners examine and simulate wildlife entanglement by experiencing what it might be like to be a marine animal trapped in debris.

In this activity related to climate change, learners create and explore topographical maps as a means of studying sea level rise.

In this activity, learners role-play the part of lake inhabitants and the aquatic exotics who displace the native species.

Learners add acid rain (nitric acid) to two cups that represent lakes. One cup contains limestone gravel and the other contains granite gravel.

In this activity (on page 7), learners explore the meaning of a "carbon sink." Using simple props, learners and/or an educator demonstrate how plants act as carbon sinks and how greenhouse gases cause

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.

This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.

In this activity, learners use a model for how fishing affects marine life populations, and will construct explanations for one of the reasons why fish populations are declining.

In this activity, learners receive a labeled plastic film canister containing a material representing a pollutant (i.e. pencil shavings = a beaver's wood chips).

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

This simulation of laparoscopic surgery enables learners to practice and to learn this modern surgical technique.

In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.
