Earth Day Science Activities

Go ahead… close the books for just one day… put away those worksheets… take a detour from those laminated lesson plans and share a few environmental science demonstrations that inspire your students to think about the Earth differently. We, as teachers, need to let our students see our passion for conserving our natural resources and making the Earth a better place to live. Just to get your creative ideas flowing, here are a few suggestions for Earth Day science demonstrations and activities from our experiment library…

• Clean Air – Denver’s Brown Cloud
• The Amazing Oil Clean-up Polymer
• Vanishing Styrofoam
• Gardening with Water Jelly Crystals
• The Power of Compact Fluorescent Lights
