Education has no higher purpose than preparing students to lead fulfilling and responsible lives.
Today's students inhabit a rapidly changing world of increasing global interdependence. It is important that children have the knowledge and tools to become conscientious environmental citizens who can be trusted to take actions to ensure a quality life for us all. Our very future depends largely upon the wisdom and respect children have for nature and the choices they will make to protect it. The purpose of the program is to improve science and technology education by providing materials, hands-on activities and background information to teachers who are interested in facilitating learning through the investigation of environmental topics. The majority of the activities in the program come from the science unit, Alternative Fuel Matters .
