Ever wonder where to find those fun green living eco lessons for your homeschooler?

As I started started surfing the web and digging deeper and deeper into this topic I see that there is a ton of information online available to our kids about creating a healthier environment.  If you ask me I would say it is quiet easy for a mom to get bogged down with all the different websites out there.

Well, I am going to save you some time and for the next few weeks I will be dedicating one day a week  to  highlighting eco educational  websites.  Sound Good?  Hopefully this will help you weed through all the great information out there.

Ecokids Is This Weeks Highlighted Website

Ecokids is a Canadian environment educational program for children.

This website is designed to educate and inspire our kids to become earth friendly. It is an interactive website that offers curriculum-linked material, fun educational games and activities for children and educators. Children are encouraged to be active on this website. They will learn and understand the impact their own actions and decisions make on our planet and environment.

They have a section just for teachers.

Nice. You do need to register in order to have access to this area. They have lesson plans, handouts with activities, environmental literacy resources, contests and calendars.

There is a teachers forum available with a discussion group.

They share ideas, resources and teaching strategies. I visited the page to check things out and I see that alot of great topics were posted. Ofcourse they were old posts but it was fun reading through all the great ideas that were shared.

So whats the downfall you ask?  The one thing I noticed was the grade level lessons only went to 8th grade.  Those with  fun high school age children will want to  find a more advanced educational website.

How about you? Do you plan on throwing in some green lessons for the upcoming  year?  If so,  do tell. Share your resources and ideas with the rest of us.
