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.
Deep-Water Currents.
El Nino: Making Your Own.
Erosion.
Global Pollution.
Heat And Temperature.
Hurricane Model.
Monsoons.
Pangaea, Laurasia And Gondwana.
Tidewater Basins.
Volcano Model.
Winds.
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.
Alien Invaders: Non-Native Animals and Plants
Your mission is to make a presentation to the Invasive Species
Council describing the invasion of non-native plants and animals to
the environment. As a biologist, you must identify "America's Least
Wanted" aliens. Who are they? How did they get here? What can
we do about them? The answers to these questions are needed by
the Council to help stop this present invasion!
