Scientific Exploration and Observation Come to Life
|
|
|
|
You have the home field advantage with this adventure.
You pick the time and the place. Just start at the keyboard. The Bing search engine guides your children in their internet investigation on key environmental subjects. Lesson plans lead them out into your school or community for real-life observation and discussion. Explorations include:
- Understanding the importance and maintenance of clean water supplies
- Knowing the difference between renewable and nonrenewable energy for our communities
- Studying the impact of air quality

Every Search Becomes an “AHA!” Moment
|
|
|
|
|
This tour is yours to customize. We’ve designed “trips” which can be short and sweet, or as elaborate as you wish! The “local element” brings the content close to home and more relevant than any textbook could ever achieve.
