Environmental Education Resources

We wanted to point out a great resource for teachers – Classroom Earth.  This group helps teachers of all subject areas integrate environmental education into their classrooms. A program of NEEF, the National Environmental Education Foundation.

One resource is Planet Connect, a component of Classroom Earth, which is an online portal where high school students can learn about current environmental topics, funding opportunities, green colleges and environmental careers. Students can also share and exchange ideas about how they are playing a critical role in solving today’s environmental challenges. To learn more visit: www.planetconnect.org

Some of their resources include:

• Invasive Species Lesson Plan Booklet

• Hidden Relationships: Energy Sources and Water Usage
