In this activity, learners explore how environmental engineers might approach solving the problem of an oil spill.

In this activity, learners investigate visual perception as well as plan and conduct their own experiments.

In this environmental science lesson, learners will examine hazardous chemicals and their effects on human health and the environment.

In this activity, learners collect, categorize, weigh and analyze classroom trash and discuss ways that engineers have helped to reduce solid waste.

In this activity (on pages 18-28), learners explore how the shape of seeds affects how they are dispersed by wind, birds, ocean currents and other means.

In this activity, learners use rice grains to model the composition of the atmosphere of the Earth today and in 1880. Learners assemble the model while measuring percentages.

In this activity, learners count and measure kidney beans to explore natural selection and variation. Learners measure the length of 50-100 beans.

In this data activity, learners will explore shipwrecks from four National Marine Sanctuaries on the West Coast of the United States.

This is an activity (located on page 3 of the PDF under Self-Assembly Activity) about self-assembly, the ability of molecules to assemble themselves according to certain rules.

In this activity, learners take measurements and create charts to learn about the size of dinosaurs and their relative scale to humans.

In this environmental health activity, learners investigate their own vital lung capacities.

This guided inquiry three-part activity engages learners in thinking about the mechanism of natural selection through data collection and pattern recognition.

Learners take a field trip along a local body of water and conduct a visual survey to discover information about local land use and water quality.

This hands-on experiment will provide learners with an understanding of the issues that surround environmental cleanup.

In this math lesson, learners model exponential decay and exponential growth using M&M's, paper folding, and African rhino population data.

In this activity, learners create a star show and discover how they can prevent light pollution. Using simple materials, learners first design constellation boxes.

In this activity, learners explore how engineering has impacted the development of bridges over time, including innovative designs and the challenge of creating bridges that become landmarks for a cit

This activity (on pages 13-18) has learners build a model tree and then figure out how to make their tree stand up by itself.

Make a one-string "guitar" by stringing a cup with some fishing line. You amplify the plucking of the string by placing a piezo contact microphone and mini battery powered amplifier inside the cup.

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.
