| This online curriculum from the Environmental Protection Agency provides hands-on lessons and activities, enrichment ideas, journal writing assignments, and other educational tools related to preventing and reducing trash. Each chapter includes one or more fact sheets providing background information on each topic. In addition, each chapter includes an index showing the grade ranges, subject areas and skills used for each activity to help teachers select the appropriate activities. Teachers can use this resource as one of many tools in the development of their lesson plans, incorporating a range of its suggested activities and subjects into different educational units throughout the school year. Activities and concepts can be incorporated into existing curricula, or teachers can create special week-long units on the environment and solid waste or use the activities to commemorate Earth Day. |
