Getting Ready for Earth Day!

Earth Day is coming and we need to get ready for our Earth Day event! For Today's MASTERS program, I want each of you to explore the following websites. At each site you will find links to projects, crafts, and event ideas related to Earth Day. Last year we started a tradition of hosting an "Ecofair" for our school. Groups of two or three students in the Masters program teamed up to PLAN and HOST a booth with an eco related activity. As you search the following sites, think about which activities might work well in the ecofair setting.

Things you need to consider for choosing the right activity:

(1) visitors should learn something important, or should feel inspired to develop more eco friendly behaviors
(2) people tend to drift in and out, they might not hang around for a long time
(3) activities should be quick and simple
(4) make and take activities should use recycled materials


Please visit the following sites and be prepared to share your TOP THREE activities with the group:
