Celebrating
Earth Week: It's Elemental
A collection of ideas, activities and resources for
exploring and celebrating our connections to the earth during Earth Week.
The
Earth Bowl
Scientists know that the earth is made of four layers: the inner core, outer core, mantle, and crust.
The Earth Bowl is a three dimensional, edible representation of the earth in cross section. (If time allows, have children
participate in measuring the ingredients and constructing the Bowl.)
A
Watery World
The purpose of this curriculum unit is to introduce the child of kindergarten age to the fascinating world of the water. It is to
provide the child with the basic information which will enable and encourage further study of this wonderful
world.
Caring
for the Earth
In this learning experience, children will explore their school environment to become acquainted with different kinds of trash
found in school and ways people try to reduce their trash. Students will then address trash issues in their own classrooms. They
will generate solutions for handling their class trash that demonstrate their awareness of how they can help care for the Earth.
Make
Your Own Terrarium
Global
Environmental Coastal Changes
My curriculum unit is divided into eighteen basic sections. It is targeted at second grade “scientists”, but can be simplified for
Kindergarten or extended to sixth grade.
The
Greenhouse Effect In A Jar
This simple experiment serves as an introduction to the greenhouse effect. Students can see for themselves the effects of a
greenhouse, and relate this understanding to what occurs in our atmosphere.
Environmental
Law
At the conclusion of a unit on the
environment, students discuss the ramifications of ecological
neglect and abuse. Focusing on air and water pollution, endangered species, and littering, they generate the
negative impact of these and develop rules (laws) and penalties for polluters.
Slick
Sea Spills
To gain an understanding of what happens in an oil spill and to develop a greater awareness of taking responsibility for the
environment.
