Highlights include an animated video from Loop Scoop using orange juice consumption to teach about biodegradation, a lesson tracking waste in neighborhoods from America Revealed, and a QUEST video transporting viewers to the beginning of the environmental movement."

If you are looking for some great resources to help your students learn more about the environment this list of 22 interactive lessons may be right up your alley. The lesson plans are for students as young as Kindergarten up through Grade 12. All are from PBS and all come with materials to use in conjunction with the interactive activities.

"Spark your students’ curiosity in engineering and technology by introducing them to the designers, inventors, and clever thinkers featured in PBS LearningMedia. Use their stories to illustrate various themes of study like the engineering design process and the impact of technology."
Beth Dichter's insight:
PBS provides many resources that help students learn the design process, and this post provides a short description. There are projects for students in grades K-1 up through high school and beyond. Below are names of a few of the projects. * Designing a Wheelchair for Rugby - use to launch a design project in your classroom * Scientist Profile: Inventor - have your student meet a teen scientist and see what he invented...and have them design their own invention * A House for Teddy Bear - Watch young users use problem solving skills and trial and error as they create a house...and try it in your classroom. An additional three ideas are in the post and more may be found on the PBS website (http://www.pbslearningmedia.org/). You will need to create a log-in.
