Bioremediation

As a follow-up from the previous lesson, young environmentalists discuss the benefits of water filtration and whether or not it's the best option. Other alternatives including air stripping, bioremediation, and phytoremediation are...

Students examine how to clean up oil spills. In this engineering activity, students design, build, and test a system that will clean up an oil spill.

Address types of diversity, conservation biology, and restoration ecology. A video also includes small population conservation, declining population conservation, structural restoration, bioremediation, biological augmentation, and...

Young scholars read and discuss decomposers and how they affect the environment. In this decomposers lesson plan, students also discuss how engineers use decomposers to help the environment.

Pairs work together to determine whether unknown solutions are either acids or bases by using a red cabbage indicator solution. After determining the general pH of the unknown solution, classmates blow into the same indicator after...

Students study cellular respiration  and its application to engineering.  In this cellular respiration lesson students describe bio-remediation. 

Students study the prokaryote and eukaryote cells.  In this cells instructional activity students show examples how engineers use cells to keep people safe and healthy.

The first STEM lesson in a group of 10 explores composting. After discussing how to make a better tomorrow, classes are challenged to track garbage in their communities, visit a local waste management facility, and conduct a survey about...

Students experiment with bioremediation. In this pollutants lesson students clean up a spill of sugar with yeast. Students discuss how else bioremediation might be used.

Learners observe a simple water cycle model to better understand its role in pollutant transport. This activity shows one way in which pollution is affected by the water cycle; it simulates a point source of pollution in a lake and the...
