Though the daily news is filled with reports of climate change,
severe weather, environmental distress, and endangered species,
children's librarians and educators might be uncertain how to
incorporate these topics into their current curriculum. This handy
resource offers an ideal solution, presenting more than two dozen
ready-to-use projects on environmental topics that can be
integrated into K-5 educational lesson plans and library
programming for children aged 4-10. Starting with a representative
picture book as a foundation, children are guided through each
topic using a hands-on project that reinforces learning. Whether
they're in the classroom or library, kids will feel excited and
engaged as they explore such topics as honeybees, loggerhead
turtles, mountain gorillas, polar bears, and other animals;
environments like coral reefs, estuaries, and the Galapagos
Islands; wildfires, hurricanes, and tornadoes; composting, gardens,
seeds, and the farm to table movement; and garbage, recycling,
renewable energy, water conservation, and Earth Day. Complete with
detailed information about each topic, including sections that
explore interesting related facts, this book will activate
children's curiosity and appreciation for the world we live in.
