Reducing Your School's Carbon Footprint

Bring climate change to the classroom by teaching students about their school’s carbon footprint. Equipped with a carbon footprint calculator, students can now determine their school’s carbon footprint, and what they can do to make it smaller. With our resource, students will learn about their school’s travel and food footprint, recycling, carbon offset credits, the process of photosynthesis, and how their school uses energy. With examples from other schools, encourage your students to take an active role in climate change with environmental projects that will help minimize their school’s carbon footprint. Using simplified language and vocabulary, our resource is comprised of reading passages, comprehension questions, crossword puzzle, word search, test prep, and color mini posters. Encourage students to make a difference by saving energy, money, and the globe, one step at a time. All of our content is aligned to your State Standards and are written to Bloom's Taxonomy.
