Move To a Healthier Aquatic Balance
Fourth graders examine aquatic orgnaisms and how enviromental chages affect them. This factors include: temperature, Ph, oxygen, nutrients, and pollutants. They also explore habitat quality (erosion). Students compile data and create...
Curated OER
Florida's Springs
Students illustrate how water is stored and the water cycle. They discover how underground water can become contaminated.
Curated OER
Wonderful Wetlands
Fourth graders create a model of Utah wetlands using clay, sponges and soil. They identify the value the wetlands have to plants and animals. They simulate rainfall to observe how wetlands help filter silt and pollutants from the water.
Curated OER
Stream Watch
Students discuss why it is important to take care of streams, what is non-point source and point source pollution, what are some causes of pollution in streams, and what can we do to prevent some of these causes of pollution? They steam...

Iona Wastewater Treatment Plant Field Trip
Students go on a field trip to the Iona Wastewater Treatment Plant and learn about sewage, waste, and pollution. For this treatment plant lesson plan, students also complete collection samples of quadrats.
Curated OER
Who's Down the Well?
Learners identify several sources of contaminants to groundwater. They discuss the movement of possible contaminants through that groundwater from outside sources. They describe how environmental engineers analyze contaminants to...
Curated OER
Our Space Station Earth
Middle schoolers discover ways to preserve the Earth's resources. In this natural resources lesson, students investigate how many gallons of water the average American uses per day and then total their estimated usage. Middle schoolers...
Curated OER
BIOASSESSMENT OF STREAMS
Students work as a team to gather organisms from a stream to evaluate if the water quality is excellent, good, or fair to poor.
Curated OER
The Lorax
Students read The Lorax and discuss how human actions can affect the environment. They conduct a simple experiment to see how much air pollution is in the air that they breathe.
Curated OER
Eek, It leaks!
Middle schoolers construct model landfill liners out of two-inch strips of garbage bags within resource constraints. The challenge is to construct a bag that will hold one cup of water without leaking. This represents similar challenges...
Curated OER
TE Activity: Stream Consciousness
Fourth graders study how environmental engineers monitor water quality. They use environmental indicators to determine the quality of stream water in their area. They count the number of macroinverabrates and use the information they...
Curated OER
Conserving Electricity: Turn It Off
Second graders explore causes of air pollution and relate them to energy conservation.
Curated OER
The Environment and the Community
Students observe their environment and come up with ways to protect it. In this environment lesson plan, students discuss pollution and ways to prevent it. Then they create a poster with drawings that show a goal to reduce pollution and...
Curated OER
HOW MUCH IS TOO MUCH?
Students observe the construction and workings of an aquifer. They record and react to the effects of pollution on the aquifer.
Curated OER
Effects of Acid Rain
Third graders explore the concept of acid rain and its effects on ecosystems. They are placed in groups and using a graphic organizer they brainstorm their ideas about what would happen to the ecosystems living within these environments...
Curated OER
Erosion: Changing the Face of Earth
Fourth graders explore how the landscape of the planet can be changed by different elements of wind, water, ice and chemicals through hands-on activities. They examine pictures of areas around town and discuss anything they think is out...
Curated OER
Clean Air: Our Health Matters
Middle schoolers learn about the human respiratory system. In this pollution lesson, students identify the parts of the respiratory system and what happens to them when they breathe in polluted air. Middle schoolers learn about the...
Curated OER
Journey of a Raindrop to the Chesapeake Bay
Young scholars explore the water cycle and the path a single drop of water would take if it traveled from their schoolyard to the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia.
Curated OER
The Seeds Tell the Story
Pupils explore sources of pollution runoff and actions that can be taken to reduce runoff. In this pollution lesson students complete a worksheet and see why bio-essays may provide a more realistic picture of toxicity.
Curated OER
What's the Connection Between Convection and Inversion?
Ninth graders observe a simulation demonstrating the difference between convection and inversion. They explain where and when convection and inversion layers occur and how each impacts air quality, and by connection, human health.
Curated OER
Rain, Rain, Go Away
Students conduct a number of experiments involving evaporation and condensation. They view and discuss a video about the water cycle and then design posters about the rain based on the book "Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs".
