Earth Science for A Sustainable World

 

The days leading up to Earth Day offer teachers a great opportunity to heighten student interest in the environment and science as a whole. Engaging students in science requires a variety of strategies and embedding culturally relevant teaching. Explore some NASA STEM Earth Day activities and projects in the field, in the classroom, and online to make environmental concepts come alive. Use Story Telling to Build the teaching around a story that is based on real-life, take the new experiences back to the why and keep reminding the students what the purpose of what they are learning is, and what they can use it for in real life.
