PLT’s new flagship curriculum, Explore Your Environment: K-8 Activity Guide includes 50 hands-on, multidisciplinary activities to connect children to nature and increase young people’s awareness and knowledge about their environment. Activities include detailed step-by-step instructions, academic correlations, time and material requirements, and corresponding student worksheets with green career connections. This supplementary curriculum is designed to develop students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Formal and nonformal educators in urban, rural and suburban settings can easily use the activities with their students. Available in print and online, this supplementary curriculum is designed to develop students’ critical thinking and problem-solving skills. Activities are organized by grade band (K-2, 3-5 and 6-8), are correlated to the SC Department of Education standards and align with national standards for science, English language arts, math and social studies.
