Through 10 lessons and more than 20 hands-on activities, students are introduced to the concept of an environment and
the many interactions within it. As they learn about natural and human-made environments, as well as renewable and
non-renewable natural resources, they see how people use our planet's natural resources and the many resulting
environmental issues that exist in our world today. Topics include: solid waste disposal; the concepts of reduce, reuse,
recycle and compost; the causes and e􀃗ects of water pollution and the importance of water treatment and clean-up
methods; air pollution and air quality and the many engineering technologies to prevent it and clean it up; land use and
community planning, seeing how decisions made by people have a long-term impact on our natural world; and renewable
energy sources, seeing how solar, water and wind energy can be transformed into electricity.
