Each of these lessons focus on experiential, project-based learning to support student engagement and action. Each of these lessons are also available in Spanish or in a virtual format. 

Restoring Ea is a place-based middle school science unit exploring management strategies that could be used for the Loko ea fishpond to sustainably feed people and ensure the ecosystem is healthy and pono (balanced). This unit honors and leverages traditional and scientific ways of knowing to create experiences that connect students to ‘āina (land) through investigations of place. This unit leverages the FieldScope platform (https://lokoea.fieldscope.org/) to allow students to investigate environmental data previously collected at Loko ea over time and also to collect additional data themselves.

An interactive water pollution simulation as seen thru the experiences of “Fred the Fish” as he travels downstream encountering obstacles along the way.

The Earth Genius Program is One Cool Earth's garden-based curriculum that we bring to our partner schools. It includes 24 lesson plans focused on Next Generation Science Standards and tied to the garden, all of which are uploaded here for your use. Our lessons are grouped in 'Phenomenal Series' to link related lessons. Lessons can be taught stand-alone, but may have more significance if taught in the suggested order, within a given phenomenal series. Lessons can be downloaded and used digitally or printed.

The Nisqually River Education Project’s (NREP) mission is to provide students service learning projects that link Washington State learning goals and standards with local environmental issues, inspiring stewardship of the Nisqually Watershed and the world. This interactive, online portal is meant to provide students the background information they need to know in order to understand water quality testing. The portal is also a repository for the data that will be collected. Look for the online field notebook that accompanies this portal.
