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.
The Carbon Cycle and its Role in Climate Change: Activity 3
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the human influences on the carbon cycle and examine how fossil fuels release carbon.
Shake it up with Seismographs!
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners explore the engineering behind seismographs and how technology has improved accurate recording of earthquakes.
Water "Digs" It!
Source Institutions
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 Best Dam Simulation Ever
Source Institutions
This online simulation game explores the different consequences of water levels on the Columbia River in the Pacific Northwest.
Hazardous Chemicals in Your Neighborhood
Source Institutions
In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.
Design a Park
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners are invited to imagine the park of their dreams!
OBIS Oil Spill
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners simulate an oil spill using popcorn (both oil and popcorn float on water), and estimate the spill's impact on the environment.
Map That Habitat
Source Institutions
Historically, sea floor mapping (bathymetry) was done by soundings.
Can Nutrients in Water Cause Harm?
Source Institutions
In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.
Zero-Energy Housing
In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.
Oil Spill Cleanup
This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.
Community Wind Project
Source Institutions
In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.
Trail Impact Study
Source Institutions
In this outdoor activity, learners plan a simple foot path and create an environmental impact study of the natural area where the path would be.
Water Treatment
Source Institutions
Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.
