This book contains 10 guided investigations related to sustainability and environmental issues meant to teach critical and creative thinking skills to students in kindergarten through second grade, along with skills in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Each includes teacher instructions, ideas for differentiation, hands-on activities, materials lists, reproducible student resources, and reflection and assessment ideas, as well as lists of relevant standards. They relate to creating an environmental impact statement, interacting with government decision makers, tracking and reducing one’s carbon footprint, learning about green manufacturing processes, hosting a Global Green Day event, initiating a recycling program, using math tools to define goals and measure success, tracking weather patterns, understanding how humans impact local wildlife, and creating an outdoor exercise park.
