In this game, learners walk through an imaginary Carbon Cycle and explore the ways in which carbon is stored in reservoirs and the processes that transport the carbon atom from one location to another

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.

In this activity (on page 14 of PDF), learners use a pan full of flour and some rocks to create a moonscape.

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.

In this activity, learners consider how oil spills behave in the ocean and what impact they have on marine wildlife.

In this water pollution activity, learners create pond water cultures and investigate the effects of adding chemicals or natural nutrients.

In this activity, learners investigate passive solar building design with a focus solely on heating.

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

In this activity, learners experience some of the challenges of "tele-operating" a robotic vehicle on another planet when they design and execute a series of commands to guide a human "rover" through

In this thought-provoking activity, learners plan a hypothetical project to build and operate wind turbines in their community.

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.

MarsBound! is an engineering simulation activity in which learners use realistic techniques to plan a mission to Mars.

Water treatment on a large scale enables the supply of clean drinking water to communities.

Using simple materials, learners will construct the end effector (grasping device) of a robotic arm and use the device to capture and pick up an object.

In this activity, learners explore how wind tunnels provide feedback to engineers about the performance and durability of products such as planes, cars, and buildings.

This activity (on page 2 of the PDF under SciGirls Activity: Earthquakes) is a full inquiry investigation into aerial imagery.

April showers bring May flowers, but what do coastal storms bring?

In this experiment, learners design and build a model room in a shoebox and furnish it with tiny furniture.

In this activity, learners investigate the food, water, and space needs of common livestock animals.

Learners will explore the scientific mystery behind a disappearing group of trees by examining data and attempting to explain the decline.
