Around a quarter of the world’s population is currently estimated to be under some form of isolation or social distancing policy. With school closures, many parents are having to find new ideas daily to keep their children engaged and entertained.
To support parents who want to continue their child’s education about the environment and how to protect it, we have created our very own ‘Environmental Studies’ module that parents can download and work through with their children during hibernation to supplement other lessons and exercises.
The module contains five worksheets, designed to teach kids about climate change and sustainability in a fun and informative way. Each worksheet is designed to appeal to a different age group, from the ages of 4 to 12, and focuses on a specific topic such as composting, ocean life and the planet’s different biomes.
