Pollution

Study the impact of air and water pollution. What is your carbon footprint and its effect on the earth? Choose from more than twenty student laboratory kits and resources that can be used in your classroom.

360Science™: Water Purification

360Science™ blends the best of student-engaging digital content with easily adaptable hands-on labs to offer your students a uniquely comprehensive learning experience.

In this lab experience, students are challenged to develop a process of water purification and assess benefits and costs and whether the process was fully successful. Editable, differentiated instructions range from a time-sensitive prescriptive lab to full open inquiry, and robust online videos and content help students prepare for and better understand the labs they’re conducting.

Green Chemistry: Road Deicers—Student Laboratory Kit

Learn a quick way to assess the relative toxicities of chemicals commonly found in road deicers. This lab, developed in partnership with Beyond Benign, has students examine the effects of aqueous solutions of sodium chloride, magnesium chloride and calcium chloride on germination and growth of lettuce seeds.

Oil Spill Containment—Flinn STEM Design Challenge™

Extracting crude oil from the environment includes some risk, and disastrous oil spills have occurred. In this activity, students design a method to contain a certain volume of oil and to minimize contamination of the ecosystem.

Landfills—Flinn STEM Design Challenge™

The average person in America generates almost 4.5 pounds of trash per day. In this STEM Design Challenge, students tackle the real-world problem of waste management.
