Environmental Science Experiments

Environmental Science

With fossil fuel sources becoming scarce and increasing concern over pollution, it's becoming more important than ever to explore alternative sources of energy and the effects of climate change on the world around us. Our Kids Making Sense line was developed by scientists and educators to unite Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) education with engaging measurement and environmental education curriculum. The Clean Water Science Kit teaches the science of cleaning and reusing dirty water by conducting interesting water purification experiments. With the Weather Science Kit, experiment with static electricity that causes lightning, make your own clouds, build a desktop water cycle model, observe the movement of air currents, explore climate change and the greenhouse effect, and learn about the harmful impact of acid rain.

Go Green with Environmental Science Experiments

With air pollution and climate change drastically affecting our planet, it is essential to educate future leaders about the importance of our environment through hands-on environmental science experiments. At Educational Innovations, we offer a wide selection of materials and resources that address all aspects of the environment, from weather to waste cleanup. You'll find all kinds of green energy and environmental science projects to spark discussions in your classroom.

Whether it's a Weather Station Science Kit you want for your students, or an Oil Spill Cleanup Kit for an interactive and multi-disciplinary lesson about environmental hazards, you'll find it at Educational Innovations. And while your bright young scholars will certainly have fun, they'll also learn just how vital it is to understand and protect the environment. Take a look at our blog for more ideas and use environmental science experiments to make your students green with excitement!

Using Solar Cells
Using Solar Cells to Teach Series and Parallel Circuits

During the electricity unit in my high school physics class, I like to do an activity in which students determine the effect of having batteries placed in a series circuit and also in a parallel circuit. We explore questions such as the similarities, differences and advantages of each method.read more

Green Science Discussion Starters

Time spent teaching young minds about green science is invaluable--we are helping them to understand and participate in their own future as inhabitants of our planets. Even the smallest scientists will understand that the sun and wind can be made to "do work" and produce energy.read more
Should
Should We Build a Dam?

The Junior High STEM class from South Kitsap School District in Port Orchard, WA explored hydroelectric energy with the use of the PowerWheel. Through a school partnership with RB Industries and the PowerWheel, students exposed the fundamental elements of creating electricity through the transfer of moving waterread more
