"Keep Kenosha Beautiful" -[|Keep Kenosha Beautiful] Teachers can access the City of Kenosha’s, Keep Kenosha Beautiful, program through the city’s website. This program offers educators opportunities to involve their class in Adopt-a-Spot Gardens where groups take responsibility for planting, weeding, and clean up of a small public area within the city for one year, or Clean-Ups – where groups can help keep areas of the city free of litter. These volunteer opportunities are great for students of all ages. It looks as though the site is also working on adding a Recycling Education component. -Krista

[|Recycling- EduTopia] While I would love to take all of my students to the recycling exhibit at Walt Disney World, I know that is not feasible. This will have to do. From an educators stand point, EduTopia is a great site. This website breaks down all sorts of activities for students in the realm of recycling. It gives you many different websites to explore and take advantage of. GRADE 4-6 - ADAM

[|Preventing the Spread of Disease] Although a bit dark, it's a realistic approach to society and how we can use science do our best to keep healthy across the globe, as well in our local community. I believe this activity could be used as student driven in grades 6-12, although it states teacher driven in the younger grades. (JR)

[|Zero Footprint] This website focus on getting students to think aboutwhat impacts they make on the environment, how they can help, and also allowsthem to calculate their own “carbon footprint” so they can see and connect thatwhat they do does truly make a difference. It has a discussion forum so students can share ways they help andthings they do to impact the environment, both negative and positive.--Janielle

“Keeping Healthy” [] This resource is an interactive activity that shows young students how varying degrees of physical activity have an effect our on our hearts and health. Students are able to see the heart pumping as well as the heart monitor that shows heart activity and beats per minute. This is a neat way to show how science and technology have helped human beings in regards to keeping healthy. This activity could be used on the SmartBoard as an engagement strategy or a quick closing activity for any health care lesson. Kindergarten through 1st Grade (Amber Unger)

Wisconsin Beach Health: 4th - 12th grade [|http://wibeaches.us] - Wisconsin Beach Health lists all of the public beaches throughout Wisconsin as well as whether or not each beach is open for swimmers. The site would be a great jumping off point for a discussion of germs or other issues that affect our ability to enjoy nature. Students can examine the different reasons for beach closings and then look at how they affect our ability to find fun, outdoor activities in the summertime when it’s 100 degrees outside. They could also talk about how these alternatives (such as splash pads, home sprinklers, etc…) have an effect on the environment as well (e.g. the use of hundreds of gallons of clean water).
