Antarctica is far away from most of the rest of the world. The changes taking place in this southernmost continent affect the rest of the globe, however. Increase awareness about climate change with a visual message crafted with white Color Explosion™ Paper and Markers.
Identify and label endangered and protected species on a large 3-D paper maché globe of the earth.
At the conclusion of a unit on 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.
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.
Students will learn that our resources are limited on this Earth, and we must conserve the resources that we have.
