Learners build a filter from old soda bottles and dirt. They create polluted water, and pour it through their filter to clean it.

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

In this collecting/comparing activity, learners work with samples of sand from different places like a lakefront, river, or ocean beach.

In this environmental science activity, learners research what is essential for plant life and the necessary components of soil to support plants.

In this activity, learners create models of erosion and floods and learn to recognize both in their environment.

Learners use beach profile data from a local beach or online data from Ocean City, Maryland to investigate coastal erosion and sediment transport.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate organisms that live along the ocean's rocky coast.

In this activity, learners explore the function and engineering of dams and how dams have many uses and solve many problems in the world.

This is a culminating activity which allows learners to summarize what they know about Woodlands Native Americans by creating illustrations and map symbols for a large outline map (see related Activit

In this activity, learners discover that the Moon, like Earth, is made up of layers of different materials. Learners work in teams to make models of the interiors of the Moon and Earth.

In this activity, learners explore the different heating properties of soil and water.

Many people get water from a source deep underground, called groundwater.

In this activity, learners model erosion using a clear shoebox and sand or soil.

In this activity (page 11 of the PDF), learners investigate how quickly water moves through various materials. They measure and compare the permeability of gravel, sand, and soil.

In this two-part outdoor activity, learners conduct a population census of squirting clams on a beach or mudflat, and investigate the clams' natural history.

In this activity, learners model hot spot island formation, orientation and progression with condiments.

This activity models some of the ways natural processes, such as erosion and sediment pollution, affect Earth’s landscape.

In this outdoor, beach activity, learners use tennis balls, water balloons and other simple devices to investigate the movement of waves and currents off a sandy beach.

In this activity, learners will model the mechanical weathering and erosion of rocks in a stream or river.

In this activity, learners observe mixtures of sand samples glued to note cards, and consider how sand can differ in size, shape, and color, and where it comes from.
