Class Photo-U of M Cedar Creek Ecosystem Science Reserve in Bethel, MN
I attended this workshop to learn more about climate change. In the current Energy and the Environment curriculum we discuss alternative forms of
energy and why we need to make the change from fossil fuels and one reason
stated is due to climate change.
However, we don't really go into what this is and/or provide facts on this
controversial topic. I am excited to now
have those facts to share with students in the form of many hands-on lessons. I would highly recommend Project Learning Tree's workshops. You get an opportunity to experience the lessons and receive lots of great resources to take back to the classroom. It is a bit of a drive to Bethel, MN but it is worth it! Plus, once
you’ve attended a PLT workshop you’re eligible to apply for a $1,000 PLT GreenWorks grants, to plant trees at your
schoolyard, buy student equipment for monitoring school pollution or energy
use, integrate a composting program at your school, etc. Applications due Sep.
