E- waste or electronic waste refers to discarded electronic materials such as phones, TV’s, MP3 players, batteries, etc. You should take extra steps to safely dispose or recycle it.

Did your bananas get too ripe before you could finish them? Time to make banana bread!

Did you find yourself with more fruit than you can eat? Don't let it go to waste—try making jam!

Don't let that extra food go to waste—dry it and save it for later. Dried fruit makes a tasty snack and lasts for weeks.

Historically, people have been pickling eggs, cabbage, carrots and many other food items in order to extend their storage life. Here are recipes for making pickled eggs and kimchi.

Food waste is a giant contributor to energy waste and can have major environmental impacts. Making new meals from leftovers can help lessen this problem.

For this activity the students are encouraged to use their creativity to create their own energy saving short film. This film can go over the importance of saving energy in regards to a specific area of saving energy.

Students should also create a detailed map of food resources in their area, classified by type and annotated with accessibility and time constraints. Then, they should evaluate whether their neighborhood or district is a food desert. How does the students' map compare with the Food Access Research Atlas?

While nuclear materials are part of the earth’s crust and have been for millions of years, the modern history of harnessing nuclear energy for power generation is relatively short. Nuclear fission was first discovered in 1939, and the first controlled nuclear chain reaction took place in Chicago as part of the wartime Manhattan Project in 1942.

The key underlying demographic trends that strain energy and water resources are population growth and economic growth. Other key trends are the impacts of global climate change and policy choices.

This activity uses published statistics from the global population monitors as the input for a variety of mathematical equations.

Students should identify a single historical or contemporary individual that made a significant contribution to the fields of energy, chemistry, physics, environmental science, or a related field. Students should explain the relationship between that scientist's work and previous and following work in the field. Special note should be made of collaboration, cross-disciplinary work, and the contribution of any women, minorities, or people of color.
