This Air Pollution Control Lesson from the Air Quality Lesson Plans Web page provides two hands-on experiments. Students can use a chart from the Reducing Cafeteria Waste activity to track the amount of trash people throw away each day in the cafeteria. Help students learn about the potential of solar energy as they bake Solar S'Mores in the sun in this activity from the Southeastern Michigan Math-Science Learning Coalition. Students can practice drawing to the same size or to scale with the animal illustration grid of a kangaroo rat or one of the other animals at Games from Waterford Press . Share The Legend of the Meeps Island Flying Frog on the American Museum of Natural History Web site.
Students can add dialogue and other characters to their versions.
Have each student trace a hand and cut it out. On each finger, the student can write one way in which he or she can help Earth. Display the colorful hands around a map of the world or an art rendering of planet Earth. Poetry takes many forms and expresses many ideas. A Poetry Guide published by the Environmental Defense Fund offers ten activities through which students can explore different poetic forms.
