Environmental groups and resources serving K–12 schools This article includes information about environmental groups and resources (such as those provided by government, its agencies, and existing or proposed legislation) that serve K–12 schools in the United States and internationally. The entries in this article are for broad-scope organizations that serve at least one state (within the US) or similar region (outside of the US). Specific organized groups[edit] As of 2008, many environmental groups exist, but they tend to overlap and duplicate efforts. The information here does not currently attempt to reconcile these issues but, rather, presents information as provided, when available, by each of the organizations described. Listed below are formally organized groups in alphabetical order. Algalita Marine Research Foundation[edit] The Algalita Marine Research Foundation is dedicated to the protection of the marine environment and its watersheds through research, education, and restoration.

Celebrating Science - A Family Science Project Whether we realize it our not, everyday we ask ourselves critical questions that involve science. Should I vaccinate my child? Should I buy a hybrid car? For this reason, students graduating from K-12 schools need to develop a basic level of scientific literacy. Parents and caregivers can be instrumental in supporting children's engagement with science. Science at School Today, in elementary schools across the nation, science education begins in Kindergarten. To learn more about inquiry-based science education, see Learning in the 21st Century. Questions play a pivotal role in inquiry-based science education, and it is often that the children's questions drive an investigation. Such prompts can be used everywhere and anytime. The Science at Home resources provide grade-level appropriate ideas for parents and caregivers to engage elementary students in scientific thinking. The scientists portrayed come from very different backgrounds.
