EcoVoyageurs Junior Lesson Plans

The EcoVoyageurs Junior lesson plans are meant to serve as a foundation with which to explore the concept of our Ecological Footprint. The goal of the lesson plans is to create empathy and a knowledge base about the people, flora, and fauna - the places - where students live and go to school. This knowledge and empathy will lead to positive actions in their personal, family, school and community lives.

There is one unit per grade from Kindergarten to grade 5 and each unit has two parts.

A series of Slide Presentations and scripts to introduce the overarching concept for each lesson's theme - Introduction to Ecological Footprints, Water, Transportation, Energy, Food and Garbage. These can be downloaded and printed as overhead presentations if a computer and projector are not available.
A series of Teacher's Lesson Plans, including student activities and worksheets. Each lesson plan provides background information, learning outcomes and how to implement the program in the classroom. The lesson plans expand on the Slide Presentations and are themed as follows - Introduction to Ecological Footprints, Water, Transportation, Energy, Food and Garbage.

Everything we do has an impact the Earth. That impact can be a negative or a positive thing - we can destroy, or we can conserve and create - the choice is ours to make. We hope EcoVoyageurs Junior will help your students make good choices.
