Environment and Climate Education is the theme for Earth Day 2017.
More than 1 billion people participate in Earth Day activities each year. And you and your students can join them by incorporating climate and environmental lesson into your curriculum during Climate Education Week: April 22-29, 2017.
Get the science behind the headlines with the book How We Know What We Know About Our Changing Climate. Kids will discover evidence from flowers, butterflies, birds, frogs, trees, glaciers and much more, gathered by scientists from all over the world, sometimes with assistance from “citizen-scientists” their own age. Use the book’s teacher guide for ready make lessons, including handouts and background information.
Earth Day Network offers a free Toolkit with hand-picked lesson plans, activities, and contests for K-12 students through out the week. For more information, visit www.earthday.org
