A brief definition of conservation is the care and protection of Earth’s resources, including air, minerals, plants, soil, water, and wildlife, so they can last for future generations. However, the concept of conservation is complex. That’s why we’ve provided a variety of learning activities to help students learn more about the topic as a starting point.
Engineering solutions for environmental conservation
Design a preserve for your community
In this activity, students will use the engineering design process to design a community nature preserve in their area.
In this activity, students will find and use a computer simulation to test solutions they propose to reduce the negative impacts of climate change on ecosystems.
The primary role of an energy engineer is to find ways to save energy and make residential and commercial spaces more energy-efficient. In this activity, students will play the role of an energy engineer consulting on a project.
