Earth Day Ideas For April 22, 2010

EARTH DAY IS CELEBRATING ITS 40th ANNIVERSARY ON April 22, 2010
For students of all ages, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency [EPA] has a site with an assortment of Earth Day ideas. One fun online quiz lets students guess how many gallons of water are used in daily activities.
A downloadable PDF booklet called The Happy Earth Day Activities Book has charming illustrations that can be colored, and a nice range of activities for different age groups. I have used this booklet with younger children, letting small groups work on coloring and decorating pages for a shared class book, and have let older students work together to study and summarize the various ways to help the environment.
Nickelodeon has a section on their website called The Big Green Help. Among the various activities suggested to help you celebrate Earth Day, be sure to see what LeBron James is doing to help.
