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 o…f 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. Energy Investigation â Students investigate how much energy their school uses, the main sources of that energy, and ways to implement energy-saving strategies. Environmental Quality Investigation â Students investigate areas where improvements can be made in indoor air quality, transportation, chemical use, and more. School Site Investigation â Students investigate natural habitats, wildlife, trees, grounds maintenance practices, and ways to to improve their school site, including planting trees and creating outdoor classrooms. Waste & Recycling Investigation â Students investigate how much waste their school generates and where it goes, as well as renewables, recycling and composting efforts. Water Investigation â Students investigate the source, cost, and quality of their school's water supply, and ways to enhance current water conservation practices Features The PLT GreenSchools Investigations have been carefully designed to make them visually appealing and easy for students to use. Each investigation includes: Green Team Guide that prepares students to lead the Investigation, including a checklist of what students will do, streamlined directions, background information, a list of related careers, and a glossary. Investigation Worksheets that contain straightforward directions, data gathering surveys, analysis questions, and structured data collection charts for Green Team members to collect and record data on the five environmental topics. Links to helpful "how-to" videos. These videos explain how to use a variety of tools and equipment to collect data for the Investigations. For example, in the Energy Investigation, an option is to use a watt meter to find out which devices in a classroom use the most energy. The video "How to Use a Watt Meter" shows students using this device with step-by-step instructions. In another video "Discover iTree" you'll see how easy it is to calculate the dollar value and ecosystem benefits of the trees on your school grounds using a simple online tool. Action Plan template that Green Team members can use to list and prioritize their action project ideas. Green Your Home handouts with tips on how students and their families can work together to improve their home environment. The Adult Leader's section suggests who to involve, including teachers; students; custodial, maintenance and cafeteria staff members; parent volunteers; and community members. The Adult Leader Guide highlights how the Investigations encourage hands-on STEM learning, and it provides: Information on the importance of greening schools to make them healthier places for students and teachers to learn and work. Specific examples of how the GreenSchools Investigations support STEM education. A list of supporting activities from Project Learning Tree that can be used to enrich and extend the learning on each Investigation topic. Correlations to academic standards, including correlations organized by grade level for each Investigation to Performance Expectations of the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS) and to the national knowledge standards for Social Studies. Connections to the U.S. Department of Education's Green Ribbon Schools (ED-GRS) program. Every year, many schools who have utilized Project Learning Tree's GreenSchools Investigations are honored with the U.S. Department of Education's Green Ribbon Schools award that recognizes schools, faculty, and students for their innovative efforts to reduce environmental impact and utility costs, improve health and wellness, and ensure effective environmental and sustainability education. ED-GRS is part of the U.S. Department of Education's effort to identify and communicate practices that result in improved student engagement, academic achievement, graduation rates, and workforce preparedness. More than 5,000 schools nationwide currently participate in the PLT GreenSchools program. A quarter of U.S. Department of Education Green Ribbon Schools are PLT GreenSchools. Students Investigate and Take Action to Green Their Schools PLT's GreenSchools Investigations empower youth to improve their environment and their health. Importantly with PLT GreenSchools, it's students who lead the way. Students in grades 6-12 analyze their school's energy use, waste and recycling, water consumption, school site, and environmental quality â and establish benchmarks. Using the r.

Add to basketPaperback. Condition: As New. Second Edition. Washington, D.C.: Project Learning Tree, 2013. Paperback. As New. Pristine inside and out. Not from a library. Not damaged. 152 pages. Nearly 30% of the land area on our planet is covered by forests. In this Project Learning Tree high school module, students learn about their connect…ions to the forests of the world and the challenges impacting this critical global natural resource. The curriculum's structure is based on the framework of the Montreal Process, an international effort to implement criteria and indicators for forest conservation and sustainable management. It is designed for use in biology, geography, agriculture, and other science and social studies courses at the high school or early college level. The module helps students understand their connections to the forests of the world as they learn about cultural, economic, environmental, and political aspects of the world's forests. The activities provide students with opportunities to apply scientific processes and higher order thinking skills while investigating world forestry issues and conducting service-learning action projects. What's included: Activity 1 - Making the Global ConnectionIn this activity, students will conduct a survey to help them assess what they and others know about forests and to consider ways that people are linked to forests around the world. Activity 2 - What Is a Forest?Dozens of official definitions of the term forest are in use throughout the world. In this activity, students will analyze various definitions of this term and then consider different cultural perspectives that affect people's perception of forests. Activity 3 - Mapping the World's ForestsIdentifying, documenting, classifying, and accurately mapping the diversity of forests found around the world is an active, ongoing process. A holistic system of global ecological zones related to simple, well-known climate characteristics and vegetation types is now used to classify the world's forests. In this activity, students will examine this system to see how temperature and moisture determine the type of forest in a given locale. Activity 4 - Analyzing Patterns of Forest ChangeHuman activities and other forces can change forests in a variety of different ways. Students will identify global trends in forest cover; through maps and historical accounts they will analyze how particular forests have changed over time. Activity 5 - Understanding the Effects of Forest UsesIn this activity, students will analyze the effects of different ways that people use the world's forests and determine which effects may be sustainable according to one definition. Activity 6 - Seeking Sustainability: A Global ResponseIn this activity, students will consider possible indicators that a forest is sustainable, and learn about one international initiative for monitoring forest sustainability. They will find out what is being done locally and in other countries to determine whether forests are managed in a sustainable way. Activity 7 - Exploring the World MarketplaceIn this activity, students will conduct a simulation in which countries use their forest resources to "manufacture" products and to sell them to an international trader. Through the simulation, students will experience what can happen when forest resources are unevenly distributed around the world and will explore some of the tradeoffs of resource use. Activity 8 - Making Consumer ChoicesUsing paper as an example, students will analyze the life cycle and consumption patterns of forest products, and they will identify the international dimensions of product use. Using their findings, they will then draw conclusions about consuming forest products in a way that is more intelligent and takes into account the global consequences. Activity 9 - Researching Forests Around the WorldIn this activity, students will explore their connections to the world's forests by re.
