In this activity, groups of learners work together to create edible models of chemicals involved in autotrophic nutrition.

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

In this activity, learners use open inquiry to learn about the process of science as well as gain experience regarding the Law of Conservation of Mass, dissolution, and density.

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

In this activity, learners explore the concept of density-driven currents (thermohaline circulation) and how these currents are affected by climate change.

In this activity, learners explore the factors that tend to resist changes in pH of the ocean and why the ocean is becoming more acidic.

In this environmental science and data analysis activity, learners work in groups to track a Dead Zone (decreased dissolved oxygen content of a body of water) using water quality data from the Nutrien
