Earth Day 2012
Science Online has definitions, essays, and experiments, and videos to bring awareness to Earth Day. Click on the Environmental Science link under Browse Subjects and you are presented with a list of topics. This is where you can find the following answers-
What is the Clean Air act? What is the Clean Water Act? What is the Endangered Species Act? By clicking on the Experiments link under Environmental Science Resources, 87 experiments are listed and can be narrowed further by grade range. If you narrow your experiment search to grades 6-8, you can find an experiment called “How Environment-Friendly is your home?” By going from room to room, students can complete a Household Environmental Profile Chart.
Newbank’s main page has a Special Report called “World Environment.” Environmental issues across the world, including the recent nuclear crisis in Japan, are featured. By scrolling down to the bottom of the features, you can also find a link to “Environment for Early Readers.”
Other sites that contain Earth Day activities are Earth Day’s Education Network at http://edu.earthday.org/
