Paperback. Condition: Good. Project Learning Tree's GreenSchools program empowers youth to improve the environment and their health at school, at home, and in their community. Student-led Green Teams apply STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) to create greener and healthier schoolsâand save schools money! At the heart of the program is a set of GreenSchools Investigations that provide a blueprint for student Green Teams to examine their school's energy use, waste and recycling, water consumption, school site, and environmental quality. Each investigation details specific things for students in grades 6-12 to measure and observe, along with student worksheets to fill out and guidance on how to combine data collected into a school-wide analysis. Using the results of their investigations, students select, design, and implement one or more action projects, and measure their impacts. Thus, students apply their skills to the real world and it gives them a voice and the knowledge that they can make a difference, all while improving students' academic performance in STEM subjects. What's Included This book includes an Adult Leader Guide and a set of five hands-on, student-driven investigations. Using critical-thinking and problem-solving skills, students will analyze their school's Energy, Water, Waste and Recycling, School Site, and Environmental Quality. Adult Leader Guide â This section includes information on the benefits of becoming a green school, who to involve, how to form a Green Team, the steps to take to support students in conducting the Investigations, and ways to obtain grants for action projects.
