Tomorrow (April 22) is Earth Day. Here are some ideas for how to incorporate this into your classroom:
- What sorts of insects are common in the grass areas of our school? Survey Your Environment – PPDAC cycle (Years 1–3)
- How are students’ travel methods to school changing over time? We have the data going back to 2005! Interestingly, car usage has remained flat at 40%. The real shift is happening elsewhere: walking has dropped from 26% to 21%, while bus usage has grown from 23% to 28%. You could also explore travel time to school.
- How are students’ opinions about climate change/global warming changing over time? Explore CensusAtSchool data. We have the data going back to 2005!
