Whether you are an educator looking to engage your students and inspire real-world problem-solving in the classroom, a homeschooling parent looking to encourage leadership in your children or a community leader looking to promote local habitat conservation, participating in EE Week is a terrific way to enhance learning and bring about positive change in your school and community.

Here are just a few ways you may choose to participate:

  • Help students conduct an audit of water and energy use and develop a plan to improve conservation at school and at home. Check out the EE Week School Water Audit to get started.
  • Visit a local nature center with your students. EE Week provides a searchable Nature Center Map as well as ideas for Planning a Nature Center Visit. If you can’t take a field trip, organize a nature scavenger hunt on your school grounds.
  • Take students on a tour of a power plant or water treatment facility to learn about local water or energy sources. EE Week offers information on The Water-Energy Connection to help your students understand the interconnections between these two important resources. 
  • Partner with a local business or community group to host a clean-up or water quality monitoring event. For age-appropriate resources for your students, visit our Water Quality Testing page. 
  • Construct a wildlife habitat, schoolyard garden or outdoor classroom on your campus, and tie the activity to a meaningful learning experience. Explore EE Week’s School Garden Curricula for ideas. 
  • Help students launch a school recycling campaign and understand the “three Rs”. For more information, visit our Recycling Curricula page.
  • Involve students in nature journaling. EE Week offers a Nature Journaling Blog to help you get started.
  • Ask students about environmental issues that concern them most and develop a service-learning project around these issues. Not sure how to begin? Visit EE Week’s Environmental Service-Learning resource page for more information.
  • Incorporate environmental themes into daily lesson plans. Our Curricula Library offers hundreds of grade-appropriate, standards-based activities that are easily incorporated into your curriculum.
