National Environmental Education Week 2010

National Environmental Education Week (EE Week) is the largest organized environmental education event in the United States. EE Week increases the educational impact of Earth Day by creating a full week of educational preparation, learning, and activities in K-12 classrooms, nature centers, zoos, museums, and aquariums. By participating in EE Week, you encourage your students to make a difference in their schools, homes, and communities!

EE Week's 2010 theme is Be Water and Energy Wise. We encourage you to explore our online resources relating to water and energy, and especially those on The Water-Energy Connection. Thousands of educators around the country have begun planning EE Week activities on the water and energy theme. Some are planning school water and energy audits in math and science classes. Geography and social studies teachers are organizing research projects about the sources of fresh water around the globe and the energy required to transport it. Others have developed projects in which students express the water and energy connection through art and poetry. Join by registering at http://www.eeweek.org/
