In this activity, learners create a sealed, mini ecosystem that supplies freshwater shrimp with food, oxygen, and waste processing for at least three months.

In this outdoor activity, learners visit the intertidal zone of a rocky coastal site well populated with marine organisms.

In this activity, learners explore how watermills have helped harness energy from water through the ages.

This is part 2 of the three-part "Crayon Rock Cycle" activity and must be done after part 1: Sedimentary Rocks. In this activity, learners explore how metamorphic rocks form.

In this activity, learners explore how light and dark colored objects absorb the Sun's radiations at different rates.

Learners explore the variables that affect the properties of ice and the places where different types of ice are found.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners locate and study plants and animals in several freshwater pond habitats.

In this activity (on pages 36-39), learners make a model of a watershed out of paper, then run water down the mountain to simulate how rainfall and pollution affect watersheds.

In this drawing/mapping activity, learners design plots of land while incorporating positive strategies for improving water quality.

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

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

Learners use a candle to investigate the products of combustion. When a glass rod is held over a lit candle, the candle flame deposits carbon on the rod.

Learners discover that their breath contains carbon dioxide, one of the pollutants found in car exhaust.

In this outdoor activity/field trip, learners investigate the special shapes, holding structures and holding behaviors that real organisms use in streams, rivers, creeks or coast intertidal zones to a

In this activity, learners interact with a 3-D model of a watershed to better understand the interconnectedness of terrestrial and aquatic environments.

In this outdoor activity, learners race small boats, made of cork, balsa wood, popsicle sticks etc., to investigate the rate and direction of currents in a stream or creek.

In this multi-part activity learners examine non-point water pollution.

In this activity, learners observe how salinity affects the freezing point of water by making and enjoying ice cream.

Learners follow directions to construct a water-powered electrical generator using a turbine made from plastic spoons.

In this activity, learners will explore how density is affected by temperature and how that can create currents.
