Explore Your Environment: K-8 Activity Guide includes 50 hands-on, multidisciplinary activities to connect children to nature and increase young people’s awareness and knowledge about their environment. Activities integrate teaching about the environment into a multitude of subjects using hands-on classroom studies and outdoor field investigations. The guide is user-friendly, and works in classrooms and nonformal settings, in urban, suburban, and rural areas.
Activities are organized by grade level (K-2, 3-5, and 6-8) and align with national standards for science, English language arts, math, and social studies. Many activities offer variations for a different grade level or focus. While lessons can be conducted both indoors and outdoors, all suggest meaningful ways to take student learning outside.
Teachers, nonformal educators, and natural resource professionals can easily integrate the activities into existing curriculum or nonformal education programs. Activities include step-by-step instructions, time and material requirements, and corresponding student worksheets with green career connections. Many activities are particularly suited to urban environments and STEM learning as well as some longer-term studies.
Overview
This supplementary curriculum is multidisciplinary, with an emphasis on science, reading, writing, mathematics, and social studies. It is designed to develop students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. The activities are inquiry-based and present students with real-world opportunities to apply STEM.
