Identifying Erosion
Source Institutions
In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.
Spill Spread
Source Institutions
In this simulation, learners explore how ocean currents spread all kinds of pollution—including oil spills, sewage, pesticides and factory waste—far beyond where the pollution originates.
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.
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.
Storm Water Runoff Pollution
Source Institutions
This activity (located on page 8 of the PDF) introduces learners to the concept of Non-point Source Pollution--what happens when rain washes garbage and other pollutants into rivers and lakes.
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.
Oil Spill Cleanup
This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.
Walk On Water Bugs
Source Institutions
In this activity (on pages 29-35), learners examine water pollution and filtration.
What-a-cycle
Source Institutions
In this activity, learners act as water molecules and travel through parts of the water cycle to discover that it is more complex than just water moving from the ground to the atmosphere.
Use Clues to Solve an Ice Mystery
Source Institutions
Learners explore the variables that affect the properties of ice and the places where different types of ice are found.
Mystery of the Disappearing Cottonwoods
Source Institutions
Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.
