Grant Opportunity for Teachers using Environmental Education in classrooms

Environmental Education benefits students in so many ways:

• It increases their understanding of how earth's resources and natural systems work,
• Offers opportunities for hands-on activities and inquiry-based learning,
  
• Provides practical information about how to succeed in the green economy.
  
  

Classroom Earth wants to help support teachers around the country who want to make environmental education part of their curriculum.

Classroom Earth's 2010 National High School Challenge provides grants up to $4,000 to help support innovative projects to incorporate environmental education into all subject areas.

Classroom Earth is committed to helping teachers integrate environmental education into their curricula to inspire their students to help solve environmental problems. Teachers from all subject areas are encouraged apply.

Deadline: Monday Feb. 22, 2010
