Global Forest Watch (GFW) is an online platform that provides data and tools for monitoring forests. It uses advanced satellite data and crowd-sourced information to track deforestation and how forests are changing throughout the world in near-real-time. The site also provides information about related topics, blog articles, and links to related tools. Topics that are covered in depth include biodiversity, climate, commodities, and water.

This activity focuses on getting students to think about bacteria, water quality and water treatment processes. Students develop and test their hypotheses about the "cleanliness" of three water samples prepared by the teacher. Then they grow bacteria in Petri dishes from the water samples. They learn how private septic systems and community sewage and wastewater treatment plants work, the consequences to the surrounding environment and wildlife from human wastewater, and what measurements of the released "clean" water are monitored to minimize harm to receiving rivers and lakes.

Distance learning environmental education from a community non-profit, based on local, southeast Ohio ecosystems. Blog posts feature hands-on nature activities that can be done in any green space of any size. These STEM activities focus on observation skills, inquiry and exploration, and human's relationship with plants and animals. Topics include plants/wildlife, habitats, watersheds, survival skills, nature journaling and more.

Rural Action's naturalists are also available for video calls and correspondence with kids around science, inquiry, and nature.

Created in response to COVID-19 school closures.

Students perform a macroinvertebrate survey to gauge the health of a local river. They collect water samples and count macroinvertebrates to learn how the health of a river's ecosystem can be determined by its river insect population.

To explore different ways of using solar energy, students build a model solar water heater and determine how much it can heat water in a given amount of time. Solar water heaters work by solar radiation and convection.
