In this environmental science activity (page 3 of the PDF), leaners will identify and explain the causes of erosion.

In this lab, learners grow broad bean (also called fava bean) plants in three EarthBoxes for a few weeks before exposing one to wind (using a fan), another to heat (using a lamp), and the third to not

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

In this astrobiology activity (on page 11 of the PDF), learners consider what organisms need in order to live (water, nutrients, and energy).

In this design-based lesson, learners study flood dynamics as they modify a riverbed with blockages or levees to simulate real-world scenarios.

In this activity, learners explore how the application of nano-sized "whiskers" can protect clothing from stains.

In this activity, learners use a laser pointer to project a microscopic image of a liquid sample suspended from the tip of a syringe.

In this activity, learners consider the water features they might enjoy at a community park--a pond, brook, water playground (or "sprayground"), or pool--and what happens to the water over time.

When it rains, water can collect on top of and seep into the ground. Water can also run downhill, carrying soil and pollution with it.

This activity gives caregivers and their children an opportunity to practice scientific ways of thinking that are developmentally appropriate for early learners.
