Environmental Teaching Activity
Author Beverly L. Meier discusses a series of environmental teaching activities designed to interrelate various subjects and help gain an insight into how these subjects can be used in "real life" situations while practicing "thinking" and "reasoning" (brain tools) skills. Designed for teachers, the POET Program - Protect Our Environmental Treasures - is designed to be self-contained, requiring little extra effort beyond gathering materials. The science topics covered include Earth modeling, weather, global warming, and the carbon cycle.
POET author and long-time teacher of the Boulder Valley School District, Colorado.
