The Environment Unit Study – Printable Teacher Resources and Lesson Plans

The Environment
The environment is all around us. Caring citizens are concerned about keeping it safe for
ourselves and future generations. The more we know about the environment, from
biomes to recycling, the better we are able to work toward improving our small part of the
world. Rachel Carson and Jacques Cousteau were environmentalist who had an impact
on the world’s thinking. You may think of others. Learning about the environment helps us
to understand how important relationships are—between people, animals, and the earth.
